Disorders of behavior represent some of the most common and
disabling diseases affecting humankind; however, despite their
worldwide distribution, genetic influences on these illnesses are
often overlooked by families and mental health professionals.
Psychiatric genetics is a rapidly advancing field, elucidating the
varied roles of specific genes and their interactions in brain
development and dysregulation. Principles of Psychiatric Genetics
includes 22 disorder-based chapters covering, amongst other
conditions, schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders,
Alzheimer's disease, learning and developmental disorders, eating
disorders and personality disorders. Supporting chapters focus on
issues of genetic epidemiology, molecular and statistical methods,
pharmacogenetics, epigenetics, gene expression studies, online
genetic databases and ethical issues. Written by an international
team of contributors, and fully updated with the latest results
from genome-wide association studies, this comprehensive text is an
indispensable reference for psychiatrists, neurologists,
psychologists and anyone involved in psychiatric genetic studies.
Contributors Include O. Linden, J. H. Quastel, S. Sved And Others.
