Psychiatric disorders in Wolfram syndrome heterozygotes.
Wolfram syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a gene on the short arm of chromosome 4 and characterized by a range of neurological, psychiatric and behavioural abnormalities. Recent research suggests that heterozygous carriers of the disease gene are at increased risk of psychiatric hospitalization.
