A new study by an international researchers from the University of Zurich and Zurich University of Psychiatry Hospital shows that the genetic risk of schizophrenia is related to the thinning of the retina and indicates that the retina scan will help early tracking and treatment in the future, according to .
The retina is part of the central nervous system with a direct relationship to the brain that shows the subtle symptoms of change in brain activity in the eyes of these patients. The researchers investigated in their study whether the neurological communication disorder is related to the genetic risk factors that affect the process of information processing in the brain.
Previous studies have shown that schizophrenia is likely to be associated with the loss of gray matter in the brain and the thinning of the retina. However, it is not yet clear that these changes can cause or disrupt it or are the consequences of these.
Of course, other variables, such as antimony, lifestyle, or diseases such as diabetes, may be involved in retinal change. “We have examined thousands of healthy individuals to investigate whether the risk of schizophrenia affects the central nervous system,” says Finn Rob, a senior research author, Finn Rob, a senior research author. In the next step, we calculated the polygnetic risk scores for each person.
Researchers used extensive genetic and night data from Biobank, England, which included information over half a million participants.
The research showed that more genetic talent is related to schizophrenia with thinner retina. But the size of the effect is small and only appears when examining the mass populations.
The researchers also mentioned that changes in the night, unlike brain change, can be easily tracked at a low cost, which is a significant advantage. The thickness of the retina using optical cohesion tumor is a similar method to the eye for the eye over a few minutes, which is a promising for tracking and prevention of the disease.
