Chromosome variants in children with psychiatric disorders.
The authors studied the frequency of chromosome variants in 48 hospitalized children with psychiatric diagnoses (study group) in comparison with 10 hospitalized children with nonpsychiatric diagnoses (control group) and the results of three surveys of newborn children. They found that the frequency of variants in their study group was elevated in comparison with their control group and with the newborn surveys.
