research

Rietschel deals with the genetic factors of mental illnesses (mainly affective disorders , schizophrenia and alcohol addiction ). She is interested in the connection between the genotype and the phenotype (phenotype-genotype correlations) in these diseases. She and her research group have identified several genetic variants that are linked to schizophrenia, alcohol addiction and depression. However, she was also able to identify environmental factors such as living and growing up in large cities as risk factors for mental health.

Rietschel also deals with the ethical aspects involved in genetic-psychiatric research.
