Abstract excerpt
A current focus in psychiatric genetics is detection of multiple common risk alleles through very large genome-wide association study analyses. Yet families do exist, albeit rare, that have multiple affected members who are presumed to have a similar inherited cause to their illnesses. We hypothesized that within some of these families there may be rare highly penetrant mutations that segregate with illness. In...
