The reputation of the field of psychiatric genetics has recently become tarnished in the view
of many human geneticists. Too many linked loci were claimed and withdrawn, too many …

Trinucleotide, or triplet, repeats consist of 3 nucleotides consecutively repeated (eg, CCG

Recently, it has been suggested that trinucleotide repeat‐containing genes may be involved
in the etiology of schizophrenia. This study was aimed at investigating putative associations …

New hopes for cloning susceptibility genes for schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder
followed the discovery of a novel type of DNA mutation, namely unstable DNA. One class of …

Chromosome 22 has been implicated in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in a number of
linkage, association and cytogenetic studies. Recent evidence has also implicated CAG …

Schizophrenia is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by mental
