Abstract
A workshop on genetic linkage studies in schizophrenia was held at Columbia University's Arden House Conference Center in October 1989. This report summarizes the contents of invited talks by Drs. Arno Motulsky and T. Conrad Gilliam and the discussions at the five workshop sessions. Topics of the workshop sessions were (1) diagnostic boundaries and hierarchies in schizophrenia, (2) genetic models and linkage parameters, (3) selection and ascertainment of pedigrees, (4) future extensions of molecular genetics strategies, and (5) possibilities for future collaboration.
