DESCRIPTION:Some metabolic dysregulations are inherent to psychotic disord
 ers. Metabolomics - a new technique that analyses the complete collection 
 of metabolites produced by an organism - has led to the discovery of metab
 olites in post-mortem brains and peripheral blood in schizophrenia. We wer
 e interested in the identification of metabolic compounds in peripheral bl
 ood that allow the identification of individuals with a first episode of p
 sychosis (FEP)\, amongst their first-degree relatives and healthy unrelate
 d controls. The identification of metabolic endophenotypes in psychotic di
 sorders may support diagnosis and treatment and increase the currently lim
 ited understanding of the pathophysiology of these disorders.
