TL;DR: In 87% to 89% of cases with psychotic disorders or with schizophrenia, Registry diagnoses agreed with RDC diagnoses, a rate of agreement comparable with those of other, similar registries.

Illness recognition and disruptiveness in psychotic illness.
TL;DR: Although nonrecognition of mental illness does not appear to be a problem among the families in the area who are not related to the particular clan, within the clan a particular subculture appears to have developed in which perceived need for psychiatric services is related to disruptive behavior.

TL;DR: This study used IBD haplotype sharing analysis to replicate positive linkage and association findings in psychotic disorders, and to identify other regions of interest, which might be unique to this population.
Genome scan of Arab Israeli families maps a schizophrenia susceptibility gene to chromosome 6q23 and supports a locus at chromosome 10q24
Bernard Lerer,R H Segman,Adnan Hamdan,Kyra Kanyas,Osnat Karni,Yoav Kohn,Mira Korner,Matthew B. Lanktree,M Kaadan,Neil Turetsky,A Yakir,Batsheva Kerem,Fabio Macciardi,Fabio Macciardi +13 more
TL;DR: The linkage the authors detected at chromosome 6q23 fulfills the criteria for genome-wide significance and is located approximately midway between loci suggested by a previous significant report at chromosomes 6q25 and findings located more centromerically at 6q21–22.
