| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We collected the DNA samples of the family, sporadic, and discordant twin patients of mental and developmental disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, autism, and Tourette disorder. Through analyzing exome sequencing by using next-generation sequencer and microarray, the several candidate genes were collected for schizophrenia and Tourette disorder.
