Y1 - 2008 N1 - T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Psychiatry, 2e AB - A scientific revolution has occurred in the field of genetics with the advent of molecular biological techniques. Using these techniques, genes influencing risk for many neuropsychiatric diseases have been identified: initially Mendelian single gene conditions such as Huntington disease were resolved; in the last few years complex genetic conditions such as alcohol dependence have yielded specific genes. Some of this work has been facilitated by the study of endophenotypes or biologic vulnerability markers.
