Abstract

Schizophrenia is a common, lifelong, and frequently disabling psychiatric disease that affects the most critical higher level functions of humans. Scientific understanding of the underlying molecular etiologies of schizophrenia continues to be limited despite intensive research. Genetic studies offer the hope of gaining new insight into the mechanisms that increase a person’s susceptibility to develop schizophrenia, in particular by identifying potential new targets for treatment, but the genetic basis of schizophrenia has proven exceptionally difficult to unravel. Given the rapid evolution of molecular genetic research technologies, breakthrough progress is imminent in the near future.
