%0 Journal Article %T La etiolog¨ªa de la esquizofrenia %A Gejman %A Pablo V. %A Sanders %A Alan R. %J Medicina (Buenos Aires) %D 2012 %I Fundaci¨®n Revista Medicina %X research conducted in recent years represents a new dawn of knowledge for the risk factors of schizophrenia, and genome-wide approaches have revolutionized the field of genetic mapping of schizophrenia. the aggregate genetic data increasingly support a combination of rare and common genetic variation in schizophrenia, a major role for polygenic inheritance, and a genetic overlap (pleiotropy) of schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders, such as bipolar disorder and autism. a main challenge for the field is the translation of established genetic associations into a better pathophysiological understanding of schizophrenia. the current and upcoming resequencing programs - both exomes (all exons) and full genomes - and genome-wide transcriptional analyses will allow a more thorough dissection of the molecular genetics of the disorder. %K schizophrenia %K genetics %K genome %K etiology %K snp %K cnv %K polygenic %K gwas %K epidemiology. %U http://www.scielo.org.ar/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0025-76802012000300007&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
