Abstract

A report from the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada discusses the changing role of genetic testing in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders (NPDs). The research highlights the shift from using genetic testing to explain the presence of NPD phenotypes to identifying individuals at high risk of developing NPDs before symptoms appear. This shift has implications for psychiatry, as individuals are now being presented based on their genetic liability for NPD outcomes. The report emphasizes the importance of optimizing individual risk prediction for precision medicine in NPDs and discusses the technological and statistical methods required to achieve this.
