《精神病學(xué)遺傳學(xué)》發(fā)表了關(guān)于與精神病學(xué)和神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)疾病有關(guān)的遺傳因素的原始研究報(bào)告。這包括基因定位和染色體標(biāo)記，與精神疾病相關(guān)的神經(jīng)元基因表達(dá)的變化，連鎖遺傳學(xué)分析，家庭，雙胞胎和收養(yǎng)研究，以及基于基因的神經(jīng)精神疾病動(dòng)物模型。該雜志涵蓋了分子神經(jīng)生物學(xué)和與精神疾病相關(guān)的分子遺傳學(xué)等領(lǐng)域。

Psychiatric Genetics publishes original research reports dealing with inherited factors involved in psychiatric and neurological disorders. This encompasses gene localization and chromosome markers, changes in neuronal gene expression related to psychiatric disease, linkage genetics analyses, family, twin and adoption studies, and genetically based animal models of neuropsychiatric disease. The journal covers areas such as molecular neurobiology and molecular genetics relevant to mental illness.
