“…Clinical phenotype assessment was performed by trained psychiatric nurses and psychiatrists using a cross-culturally validated and reliable Chinese version of the Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN), 17 supplemented by available medical records. In a further study, the interrater reliability for all SCAN symptom/course items among 23 psychiatric patients were found to be acceptable, with overall percentage agreement ranging from 61 to 100% and the generalized kappa coefficient ranging from 0.47 to 0.88.…”

“…18 The agreement on the diagnosis of bipolar disorder was excellent, being 100% both in this study and in the earlier crosscultural study of the SCAN between US/UK and Taiwan senior psychiatrists. 17 Diagnosis was generated from the computer diagnostic algorism for the SCAN (I-Shell). 19 Only the Han-Chinese population, which accounted for 98% of the population in Taiwan, was considered for the recruitment of patients in this study.…”

We report the first genome-wide association study in 1000 bipolar I patients and 1000 controls, with a replication of the top hits in another 409 cases and 1000 controls in the Han Chinese population. Four regions with most strongly associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected, of which three were not found in previous GWA studies in the Caucasian populations. Among them, SNPs close to specificity protein 8 (SP8) and ST8 a-Nacetyl-neuraminide a-2,8-sialyltransferase (ST8SIA2) are associated with Bipolar I, with Pvalues of 4.87 Â 10 À7 (rs2709736) and 6.05 Â 10 À6 (rs8040009), respectively. We have also identified SNPs in potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 12 gene (KCTD12) (rs2073831, P = 9.74 Â 10 À6 ) and in CACNB2 (Calcium channel, voltage-dependent, b-2 subunit) gene (rs11013860, P = 5.15 Â 10 À5 ), One SNP nearby the rs1938526 SNP of ANK3 gene and another SNP nearby the SNP rs11720452 in chromosome 3 reported in previous GWA studies also showed suggestive association in this study (P = 6.55 Â 10 À5 and P = 1.48 Â 10 À5 , respectively). This may suggest that there are common and population-specific susceptibility genes for bipolar I disorder.

“…The selection of study subjects has been described in detail elsewhere. 7,8 Subjects who met the DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria for alcohol dependence, all with various extents of withdrawal symptoms, were included as cases, and controls were subjects who had never drunk or only occasionally drank small quantities, and were matched to the cases by ethnicity and sex. The mean age for cases was 39.4 years (range 21-69), and that for controls was 57.6 years (range 41-84).…”

Molecular Psychiatryimplying an effect on the variance instead of on the mean. 10A second advantage of including measured genotypes in etiological models is that it may improve our understanding of psychiatric conditions. Measured genotypes represent a whole new class of epidemiological risk variables that may provide additional predictive power, shed new light on traditional research issues, and make it possible to examine the mechanisms that describe how genes and environmental risk variables co-act. In comparison with traditional epidemiological risk variables, measured genotypes have advantageous methodological properties arising from the fact that phenotypes or environmental factors cannot cause variations in genotypes. This property facilitates the evaluation of causal relations between health problems and their putative risk factors. 7 EJCG van den Oord

“…However, Bhui et al (2003) have emphasized the benefits of using a bottom-up (or qualitative) approach such as focus groups, pilot studies, and consultation with community agencies to strengthen the face and content validity of the adapted instrument. A number of researchers have used qualitative data to explore the cultural meaning of terms (e.g., Cheng et al, 2001;Ng-Tse, 2001). Thus, it appears to be advantageous to integrate both top-down and bottom-up approaches within cross-cultural validation of measures (de Jong and Van Ommeren, 2002).…”

Depression measurement tools in cross-cultural research require careful design and thorough validation to ensure that cognitive concepts in one culture can be appropriately translated and applied to a differing culture. The aim of this study was to validate the Chinese version of a screening measure of state depression, the 10-item Depression in Medically Ill (DMI-10), and we report three interdependent studies. An initial bilingual test-retest study identified four (of the 10) items as having poor cross-cultural validity. A second study involved focus groups participants exploring the meaning of translated items with Chinese speakers. The third study repeated the bilingual test-retest analyses on the modified DMI-10 form and demonstrated improved correlation coefficients on all items and an excellent overall correlation (r=0.87) between the Chinese and English versions. The Chinese DMI-10 should prove useful as a tool in cross-cultural research to understand the Chinese experience of depression. The findings of this study have methodological implications for cross-cultural research on depression.
