title: Markers in psychoses: studies from India.
abstract: Genetic considerations are important in studying the pathogenesis of the psychoses. There are few reports from India, however, which have pursued a "biological marker" approach to functional illness of this type. A review of such few studies as do exist is presented to add to contemporary knowledge in the area. Recommendations are also made for evolving newer research strategies.
