国外研究显示了五种精神疾病的关联：自闭症，注意力缺陷多动障碍，双相情感障碍，抑郁症，精神分裂症有什么共同之处？显然，他们都有着共同的遗传危险因子。一个对61000人的研究发现，四种遗传变异会增加所有五种疾病的风险。可能还有几百种其他基因对这些精神疾病发展过程中发挥着作用。如果我们能提前确定他们，则对我们的诊断方法和治疗这些精神疾病起到重要作用。(刘忠平译)

Apparently, they all share common genetic risk factors. A study of 61,000 people found four genetic variants that appear to increase the risk of all five disorders. There are likely hundreds of other genes that play a role in the development of psychiatric disorders, and identifying them could advance the ways we diagnose and treat mental illness.
