A compilation of all mental disorders with known genetic etiology is presented. Of 139 disorders the gene location is known in 36. Eleven of the genes are located on the X chromosome and 24 on the autosomes. When a gene for a disorder is located, linkage analysis can be used for diagnosis. In the future the gene map will expand and more mental disorders be diagnosed with linkage analysis.
