Despite the large number of candidate genes for mental disorders, molecular mechanisms of the majority remain unknown. To fill this gap, we have studied genomic networks-candidates (instead of genes) in a group of children with brain disorders. The identification of such processes seems to be more promising for developing therapeutic strategies in contrast to candidate gene identification.
