Abstract
This case report reviews genetics consultations on psychiatrically hos pitalized school-age children. Six of 100 patients were noted to have positive genetic findings: four with congenital anomalies and/or bioch emical/metabolic abnormalities and two with chromosomal abnormalities. Three of these patients are used to illustrate the occurrence of gene tic abnormalities in psychiatrically hospitalized children. The indica tions for chromosomal analysis are discussed.
