Genetics in psychiatry: are the promises met?

Brigitta Bondy

World J Biol Psychiatry 12(2):81-8 (2011) PMID 21348783

Psychiatric disorders are among the most heritable common disorders, and for more than 20 years researchers have tried to unravel genetic susceptibility genes. This review briefly outlines the pros and cons of genetic approaches, important advances and possible future directions for readers not familiar with genetic studies.

    We have evaluated and compared two approaches to estimate the mutation frequency at three ORFs/regions (HIS4, CEN4 and EST2) of the C. albicans genome. Sequencing of individual DNA molecules (clone-by-clone sequencing) identified de novo mutations at these DNA regions, whose frequency was similar to...
