The impact of molecular genetics on our understanding of the psychoses
1Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics, St Mary's Hospital Medical School, London.
Abstract:
Studies demonstrating the linkage to separate chromosomal locations of Alzheimer's disease, manic depression, and schizophrenia require re-evaluation of our ideas of their genetic aetiology. This article reviews the findings, and explores the increasing contribution of the 'new genetics' to our understanding of the organic and functional psychoses.
