Major and exciting advances in psychiatric genetics were
discussed at a 3-day international workshop. The
internationally renowned editors assembledan impressive
list of specialists, all of whom are leading in their
subject. Reviews and short articles which stress special
problems or new research results have been brought together
in this book, also including intensive discussions of the
different topics. Much of the material covers the
application of molecular genetics in major psychoses,
Alzheimer's dementia or preclinical research. However, the
problems of diagnostic features or phenotypical
characterization broaden further the content of this volume,
making it truly a collection of the art information.
