Abstract

The XVII World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics, sponsored by The International Society of Psychiatric Genetics (ISPG) took place in San Diego, California from 4 to 8 November 2009. Approximately 550 participants gathered to discuss the latest molecular genetic findings relevant to serious mental illness, including schizophrenia, mood disorders, substance abuse, autism, and attention deficit disorder. Recent advances in the field were discussed, including the genome-wide association studies results, copy number variation (CNV) in the genome, genomic imaging, and large multicenter collaborations. The following report, written by junior travel awardees who were assigned sessions as rapporteurs represents some of the areas covered in oral presentation during the conference, and reports on some of the notable major new findings described at this 2009 World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics.

摘要

由国际精神遗传学协会（ISPG）主办的第十七届世界精神遗传学大会于2009年11月4日至8日在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行。约550名参会者齐聚一堂，讨论与严重精神疾病相关的最新分子遗传学研究结果，这些疾病包括精神分裂症、情绪障碍、药物滥用、自闭症和注意力缺陷障碍。会议讨论了该领域的最新进展，包括全基因组关联研究结果、基因组中的拷贝数变异（CNV）、基因组成像以及大型多中心合作项目。以下报告由获得初级旅行奖并被指定为各场次报告人的人员撰写，介绍了会议期间口头报告中涉及的部分领域，并报道了在本次2009年世界精神遗传学大会上描述的一些显著的重要新发现。
