title: Phenotypes and genetic analysis of psychiatric and neuropsychiatric traits.
abstract: A workshop was held at Rockefeller University entitled "Phenotypes and Genetic Analysis of Complex Traits." The purpose of the workshop was to examine phenotype definition for complex traits, in particular, psychiatric and neuropsychiatric traits. An additional goal of the workshop was to examine statistical genetic approaches that specifically address the oligogenic nature of psychiatric traits. An overview of topics that were addressed and discussed at the workshop is presented in this article.
