Genetic Overlap in Psychiatric Disorders? Lots. In Neurological Disorders? Not Much

Clinical categories for psychiatric disorders may need to be rethought, suggests a new study from the aptly named Brainstorm Consortium, a collaborative effort that accepted input from researchers representing 600 institutions worldwide. By pooling their data on hundreds of thousands of genomes, these researchers found genetic connections among distinct psychiatric disorders. In contrast, the researchers observed that neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, posse
