Associations at DRD2 and several genes involved in glutamatergic neurotransmission highlight molecules of known and potential therapeutic relevance to schizophrenia, and are consistent with leading pathophysiological hypotheses.

Screening for inflammatory and neurodegenerative processes in depression will allow to discover new I&ND biomarkers, both at the level of gene expression and the phenotype, and elucidate the underlying molecular I &ND pathways causing depression; identify new therapeutic targets in the I& ND pathways; develop new anti-I&ND drugs for these targets; and select existingAnti-I &ND drugs or substances that could augment the efficacy of antidepressants.

A case control study in which rates of EPL, due to parental death or permanent separation before the age of 17 years were evaluated in patients with major depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, compared to individually matched, healthy control subjects.

A centralized analysis pipeline was applied to a SCZ cohort of 21,094 cases and 20,227 controls and Suggestive support was found for eight additional candidate susceptibility and protective loci, which consisted predominantly of CNVs mediated by nonallelic homologous recombination.
Support for association of schizophrenia with genetic variation in the 6p22.3 gene, dysbindin, in sib-pair families with linkage and in an additional sample of triad families.

The results represent a first successful replication of linkage disequilibrium in psychiatric genetics detected in a region with previous evidence of linkage and will encourage the search for causes of schizophrenia by the genetic approach.

These findings support a small but significant contribution of the HT2CR and DRD3 to susceptibility to TD, which is additive in nature.
A genome screen for genes predisposing to bipolar affective disorder detects a new susceptibility locus on 8q.

A complete genome screen with 382 markers was conducted in a sample of 75 BPAD families which were recruited through an explicit ascertainment scheme, aimed at detecting possible susceptibility loci underlying genomic imprinting by analyzing the autosomal genotype data with the recently developed extension of the GENEHunTER program, GENEHUNTER-IMPRINTING.
