  • Title: Genetic susceptibility to psychiatric disorders.
    Author: Conley YP, Steele AM, Puskar KR.
    Journal: Medsurg Nurs; 2004 Oct; 13(5):319-25. PubMed ID: 15587131.
    Abstract:
    Genetics contributes susceptibility to most psychiatric conditions and the understanding of these genetic factors is increasing rapidly. Because of such breakthroughs and their implications for patient care, professional nursing organizations support the incorporation of genetics into nursing curricula and the attainment of a working knowledge of genetics by all nurses. In this article, the basics of psychiatric genetics are presented to provide a foundation for the understanding of current and future findings in the field as well as information about family history assessment and appropriate references that the practitioner may find helpful.
