Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Electroretinogram (ERG) anomalies occur in patients with psychiatric disorders and represent potential biomarkers for diagnosis. For instance, decreased rod ERG (b-wave amplitude at Vmax) is a biological endophenotype in young offspring at high genetic risk (HR) for schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD). Also, a decrease in cone a-wave and rod a- and b- wave was observed in SZ patients....
