  • Analysis of limitations in current genetic research.

    • Main Results:

    • Striking advances in identifying genes for single-gene disorders (e.g., Huntington Disease).
    • Progress in complex disorders like late-onset Alzheimer disease and dyslexia, demonstrating feasibility of gene identification.
    • Challenges remain for complex phenotypes such as schizophrenia and affective disorders.

    Conclusions:

    • Genomic information and internet accessibility are key tools for gene discovery.
    • Large-scale, well-characterized case collections are essential for identifying genes of small effect.
    • Genomics advancements promise tailored pharmaceutical treatments and improved understanding of neurobiological pathogenesis for disorders like schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder.
