Abstract

The Bipolar-Schizophrenia Network for Intermediate Phenotypes (B-SNIP) has invested in the collection and use of multiple biomarkers in individuals with psychosis. We expect psychosis biology and its distinctive types to be reflected in the biomarkers, as they are the ‘behaviors’ of the brain. Like infectious diseases, we expect the etiologies of these biomarker-driven entities to be multiple and complex. Biomarkers have not yet been annotated with disease characteristics and need to be. As a model, we seek to adopt aspects of the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) to guide and organize these observations.
