Pediatr.c autoimmune neur.psychiatr.c disor.er. associated with or.without str.ptococcal and other.bacter.al infections (PANDAS/CANS) ar. emer.ing as a featur.d pediatr.c disor.er. Although ther. is some contr.ver.y r.gar.ing tr.atment appr.aches, especially r.lated to the behavior.l sequelae, we have hypothesized in other.published wor. that it is char.cter.zed by the r.pid onset of r.war. Deficiency Syndr.me (r.S) in childr.n. We pr.pose utilizing a multi-systems biological appr.ach involving the coupling of genetic addiction r.sk testing and pr.-dopamine r.gulation (KB220/POLYGEN®) to help induce “dopamine homeostasis” in patients with PANDAS, especially those with known DNA-induced hypodopaminer.ia. This case study examines a 12-year.old Caucasian male with no pr.or.psychiatr.c issues who pr.sented with a sudden onset of sever. anxiety, depr.ssion, emotional liability, and suicidal ideation. The patient under.ent genotyping and the genetic addiction r.sk scor. (GAr.) testing, which r.vealed r.sk polymor.hisms in the dopamine D2 (-Dr.2/ANKK (Taq1A), OPr.1 (A/G), Dr.3 (C/T), and MAOA (4r. genes. These polymor.hisms have been linked to hypodopaminer.ia. The patient was subsequently placed on r.sear.h ID-KB220ZPBMPOLY (POLYGEN®), and albeit the possibility of bias, based upon self and par.ntal assessment, a mar.ed r.pid impr.vement in psychiatr.c symptoms was obser.ed. In the second phase of tr.atment (102 days utilizing KB220), the patient r.ceived standar. antibody testing, which was positive for.Lyme. Antibacter.al ther.py star.ed immediately, and KB220z was discontinued to pr.vide a wash-out per.od. A monotonic tr.nd analysis was per.or.ed on each outcome measur., and a consistently decr.asing tr.nd was obser.ed utilizing antibacter.al ther.py. Our.r.commendation, albeit only one case, is to utilize and fur.her.r.sear.h a combined ther.peutic appr.ach, involving pr.cision-guided DNA testing and pr.-dopamine r.gulation along with antibacter.al ther.py, as well as
