Overview
Following on the heels of previous successful meetings in Leuven, Belgium; Dublin, Ireland; and Mallorca,
Spain, the IBBC is now operational as a large-scale initiative studying the genetics of schizophrenia and other
psychiatric disorders associated with chromosome 22q11.2 deletions (22q11.2DS). With $12 million in support
from the National Institute of Mental Health of the National Institutes of Health in the United States, this
multicenter endeavor is examining findings associated with 22q11.2DS across the life span while utilizing
whole genome sequencing in search of phenotype-genotype correlations with the ultimate goals of improving
detection, treatment and long-term outcomes. Beyond the potential for yielding a better understanding of a
severe manifestation of 22q11.2DS, the results will help identify pathways leading to schizophrenia in the general
population in a way that will inform novel treatments, as there is a substantial risk for developing psychotic illness
in approximately 25 to 30 percent of adolescents and young adults with 22q11.2DS. The illness presentation and
course are similar to those of schizophrenia, which occurs in the general population at a much lower rate (about 1
percent). All members of the Consortium are invited to attend.
