nosology for major psychiatric disorders, based on the" two-entities-principal" is not accurate …

Discussion It is important to point that current database, such as the Allen Brain Atlas (©

Background Recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) investigating bipolar
disorder (BD) have detected a number of susceptibility genes. These studies have also …

The human synapsin III gene (synapsin III) is a member of a neuron‐specific phosphoprotein
gene family involved in short‐term neurotransmitter release. We mapped synapsin III to …

The nature of subtypes in schizophrenia and the meaning of heterogeneity in schizophrenia
have been considered a principal controversy in psychiatric research. We addressed these …

The genetic basis of bipolar disorder (BPD) and schizophrenia (SCZ) has been established
through numerous clinical and molecular studies. Although often considered separate …

Background We previously reported a genome-wide significant linkage for major psychosis
in chromosome 13q13-q14. Methods An association analysis was conducted in 247 …

Recent advances in molecular psychiatric genetics have at last identified susceptibility loci
for the major psychotic disorders. Not surprisingly several of these genes appear to confer …

Abstract Background: The 22q13-linked gene synapsin III is a positional candidate gene for
schizophrenia (SZ). One interesting synapsin III single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) …

Linkage studies indicate that chromosome 22q contains a locus, or loci, for schizophrenia
(SZ) and bipolar disorder (BPD). Furthermore, the congenital disorder velo cardio facial …
