Schizophrenia genetics: uncovering positional candidate genes.

Abstract excerpt

The efforts to decipher the genetic causes of schizophrenia, one of the most devastating mental illnesses, have reached a turning point. Several linkage findings in schizophrenia have been replicated and, in the last few years, have been followed by systematic fine-mapping efforts to identify positional susceptibility genes. Here, we outline the evidence supporting each of the proposed positional candidate genes...
