Genetic Approaches to Schizophrenia, 1988-04-17 - 1988-04-20

 File

Scope and Contents

The Genetic Approaches in Schizophrenia meeting brought together expert geneticists and psychiatrists who have been studying the genetics of schizophrenia. The aim of the meeting was to determine if the armamentarium of molecular genetics that has been applied so successfully in other human inherited disorders can be applied to schizophrenia. However, it became clear during the course of the meeting that so little is known about the underlying biology of schizophrenia, and its definitive diagnosis is so difficult, that more patient and family studies are required
