Genetics of Schizophrenia — New Findings

Abstract

The 1998 World Congress on Psychiatric Genetics was held in Bonn, Germany, from October 6th to the 10th. Since its inception in 1989, the meeting has grown rapidly in size, and 1998 was the first full-scale international meeting on psychiatric genetics. With over 450 participants, the meeting focused on a wide variety of genetic findings in neuropsychiatric disorders, including candidate genes and linkage studies, although the major theme continues to be the genetics of schizophrenia. Of the more than three hundred posters presented, about one third involved schizophrenia.KeywordsImprint GeneTransmission Disequilibrium TestMarker D22S278Familial Hemiplegic MigrainePsychiatric GeneticThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
