Popis: Genetic factors play an important role in the development of psychotic disorders. With increasing evidence, several rare copy number variants (cnvs) have been identified as risk factors. We describe a patient who had two psychotic episodes during his adolescence. In this patient, a 16p11.2 duplication was detected. This duplication is a recurrent cnv associated with various somatic and psychiatric phenotypes including psychosis and schizophrenia. The potential clinical relevance of this finding is discussed.
