By: Dykens, Elizabeth M.
Series: American Journal on Mental Retardation 99 (5) 522-532. 1995Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volume Subject(s): BEHAVIOUR | GENETICS
Summary: Recent revolutionary advances in genetics bring a renewed importance to the behavioural phenotypes of mental retardation syndromes. Three strategies were offered that improve the traditional focus on easily observed syndromic traits: a psychiatric approach, psychometric methods, and syndrome specific observations. The need to combine these approaches were discussed as were complications of the work due to developmental and environmental issues.
