 This article is discussed in an editorial by Drs. James J. Hudziak and Stephen V. Faraone on page 729 of the August 2010 issue.

 This article 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.
