Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined continuity and discontinuity between schizophrenia and mood disorders by investigating candidate gene variants, comprehensive cognitive functioning and personality characteristics in patients with schizophrenia, those with mood disorders and healthy control subjects. We have conducted a set of studies and obtained results suggesting genetic similarities between the two disorders. These results are considered to advance findings from relevant studies and contribute to elucidating the pathogenesis of schizophrenia and mood disorders.
