    ABSTRACT: Background Mood disorders such as major depressive and bipolar disorders, along with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia (SCZ), and other psychotic disorders, constitute serious mental illnesses (SMI) and often lead to inpatient psychiatric care for adults. Risk factors associated with increased hospitalization rate in SMI (H-SMI) are largely unknown but likely involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and socio-behavioral factors. We performed a genome-wide association study in an African American cohort to identify possible genes associated with hospitalization due to SMI (H-SMI). Methods Patients hospitalized for psychiatric disorders (H-SMI; n=690) were compared with demographically matched controls (n=4467). Quality control and imputation of genome-wid

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Discuss with your doctor

  • Genetic risk for psychiatric hospitalization Moderate

    SLC9C2 A allele associates with increased hospitalization risk in serious mental illness, warranting clinical discussion of prevention strategies

    Share genetic finding with psychiatrist and discuss individualized prevention plan

Screening

  • Frequent psychiatric symptom monitoring Moderate

    Higher hospitalization risk identified by genetic association warrants closer clinical monitoring and early intervention

    Schedule psychiatric appointments more frequently as coordinated with provider
