[Investigation of the genetic background of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia (introduction)].

Abstract excerpt

The hereditability of bipolar disorder (Bpd) and schizophrenia (Sch) is a well known fact, twin studies are applied to estimate the contribution of the genetic background. Gene linkage studies provided from suicidal brain samples are used to identify mutation of susceptibility genes involved in the etiology. Numerous genes are playing role in the altered signal transduction pathways. Based on the combined effects...
