 This article is discussed in an editorial by Drs. James J. Hudziak and Stephen V. Faraone on page 729.

 Preparation of this paper was supported in part by grants from the U.K. Medical Research Council (G050079), the Wellcome Trust (WT084728) and the U.S. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (HD44454). CMAH is supported by an MRC/ESRC Interdisciplinary Fellowship (G0802681).

 This is one of several articles published in the August and September issues of the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry that explores the intersection of genetics and mental health disorders in children and adolescents. The editors invite the reader to investigate the additional articles on this burgeoning area of developmental psychopathology.
