Following Thursday's press briefing by the Science Media Centre with Prof
Nick Craddock, MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics & Genomics, Cardiff
University School of Medicine and Peter Kinderman, Professor of clinical
psychology at the University of Liverpool, honorary consultant clinical
psychologist with Mersey Care NHS Trust, there has been significant media
coverage.

Links for UK and international coverage and the Reuters News Alert are
being collated on this page of my Dx Revision Watch site:
