Overview
Psychiatric Genetics is a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the genetic basis of psychiatric disorders. It publishes cutting-edge research on the identification, characterization, and understanding of genetic factors contributing to mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and autism spectrum disorders.
