Genetic linkage in mental illness. Limitations and prospects.

The British journal of psychiatry : the journal of mental science - 1 Nov 1990

Baron M, Endicott J, Ott J

Abstract excerpt

Advances in genetic linkage strategies, including techniques of molecular genetics, augur well for the discovery of disease-related genes in mental disorders. Recent studies showing linkage of chromosomal loci to bipolar affective illness and schizophrenia attest to the potential in the 'new genetics'. However, the failure to replicate some of the early findings has led to calls for re-evaluation of the...
