Diagnosis and Classification of Mental Disorders in Relation to Molecular Research

  • Conference paper
Genetic Approaches in the Prevention of Mental Disorders

Abstract

Accurate and, if possible, correct diagnosis is important in genetic and epidemiological research for obtaining valid estimates of morbid risks in relatives and in the background population for evaluation of heritability and modes of transmission. In molecular genetics diagnosis is of critical importance. In linkage studies just a few misdiagnoses in the pedigrees may ruin the lod scores and prevent the demonstration of linkage and the detection of the gene itself.
