Provided herein are methods for treating schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder by administering to a subject in need thereof (S)-2-amino-3-methyl-butyric acid (2R,3R,11bR)-3-isobutyl-9,10-dimethoxy-1,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-2H-pyrido[2,1-a]isoquinolin-2-yl ester, or an isotopic variant thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or polymorph thereof.

The present invention provides compounds of the general formula (I)

wherein X, n and R¹ are as described herein, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts and esters thereof, methods for their manufacture, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as medicaments. The active compounds of the present invention are dual modulators of the serotonin 5-HT_2a and dopamine D₃ receptors, useful in the treatment and/or the prevention of cognitive disorders, drug addiction, depression, anxiety, drug dependence, dementias, memory impairment, psychotic disorders comprising schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorders, bipolar disease, mania, psychotic depression, and psychoses comprising paranoia and delusions.

An assay for a GCH1 allele and associated genotype for the screening, prediction, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and treatment response of psychiatric, neuropsychiatric, and neurological disorders, such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and bipolar disorder, and for defining treatments of such disorders. The presence of a variant in the GCH1 gene, alone or in conjunction with a measurement of low or altered biopterin, or altered BH4 system measures, is used to screen for or diagnose subjects at high risk for developing a psychiatric, neuropsychiatric, or neurological disorders. The assay of the GCH1 genotype, with or without biopterin or a BH4 or BH4 system assay, may also be used to determine antipsychotic or mood stabilizer medication, as well as other treatments. For subjects with an impaired BH4 system, treatments to increase or normalize biopterin, BH4, or the BH4 system can also be used, such as BH4 supplementation, lithium treatment, phenylalanine treatment, or other treatments and therapies.

Embodiments of the present invention provide methods for diagnosing schizophrenia, schizo-affective disorder and/or psychosis in an individual or predicting risk of the individual developing schizophrenia, schizo-affective disorder or psychosis, by determining values for one or more markers in each of five domains, namely a neurotransmitter domain, an oxidative stress domain, a nutrition-biochemistry domain, a visual processing domain and an auditory processing domain.

This invention relates to methods and compositions for diagnosing and treating neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar affective disorder, unipolar affective disorder and adolescent conduct disorder. In particular, the invention provides novel variants of DISC1 and DISC2 nucleic acid sequences, as well as novel DISC1 polypeptides encoded by these variant nucleic acid sequences. The variant DISC1 and DISC2 nucleic acid sequences provided by this invention, and the variant gene products they encode, are ones that correlate with the presence of a neuropsychiatric disorder in individuals. The invention, therefore, also provides methods and compositions for using the variant nucleic acids and polypeptides to diagnose and treat such neuropsychiatric disorders in individuals.
