Synopsis Recent studies have suggested that expanded CAG/CTG repeats contribute to the genetic aetiology of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. However, nature this contribution is uncertain difficult predict from other known trinucleotide repeat diseases display much simpler patterns inheritance. We sought replicate extend earlier findings using Repeat Expansion Detection in an enlarged sample 152 patients with schizophrenia, 143 disorder, 160 controls. also examined DNA parents 62 probands...
Four hundred and fifty-three general medical in-patients were screened for mood disorder (anxiety depression), organic mental states alcohol problems. Using the Present State Examination, affective was identified in 14.6 per cent, being especially common younger women. Organic psychiatric very elderly, occurring 31 cent of those over 70 years, 18 men 4 women admitted to a drink problem. Mood not related type or severity physical illness, but significantly associated with previous history...
The psychiatric problems of inpatients in hospital are associated with distress and increased complexity care. 1 admission assessment by preregistration house officers provides an important opportunity to detect treat these disorders.
We have previously described a pedigree in which affective disorder and Darier's disease cosegregate and, an independent sample of 45 bipolar pedigrees, reported evidence support linkage between putative susceptibility locus for markers the region chromosome 12q23-q24.1. The maximum was given by polymorphism at gene encoding secretory phospholipase A2 (PLA2A), candidate disorder. Dawson et al. (Psychiatric Genetics, 5, 177–180) recently allelic association with same PLA2A 54 probands 56...
Background. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has been associated with increased prolactin (PRL) responses to the serotonin (5-HT) releasing agent fenfluramine. It is not known whether this abnormality due 5-HT release or heightened sensitivity of post-synaptic receptors. Methods. We measured increase in plasma PRL produced by directly acting receptor agonist, m-chlorophenylpiperazine (mCPP), patients CFS and healthy controls. also compared ability mCPP lower slow wave sleep (SWS) polysomnogram...
Despite the rapid increase of Hispanics in U.S., there continues to be a lack adequate psychological assessment tools examine Spanish-speaking patients with cognitive or neuropsychological disturbances.

The performance 40 TBI was compared that age-, gender-, and education-matched normal controls. Subject groups differed on Visual...

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common structural birth defect and present in 40-50% of children born with Down syndrome (DS). To characterize genetic architecture DS-associated CHD, we sequenced genomes a multiethnic group DS CHD (n=886: atrioventricular septal (AVSD), n=438; atrial (ASD), n=122; ventricular (VSD), n=170; other types n=156) structurally normal (DS+NH, n=572). We performed four GWAS for variants (MAF>0.05) comparing stratified by CHD-subtype, to DS+NH controls....
We report here a case study of 76-year-old woman with high school education, whose presenting psychiatric symptomatology indicated dementia unknown etiology. Neuropsychological test results were consistent AD, but diagnosis was complicated by an MRI showing large right hemisphere cortical infarct and scattered subcortical changes leading to possible AD. Electrocortical mapping showed the infarct, gave independent evidence suggestive AD in relatively intact left hemisphere. This demonstrates...
