I forgot to reply to a couple things. Forgive me if the following is obvious. With the hereditary relationships that you speak of, the effect is likely a result of susceptibility genes that contribute to several different disorders. Depending on neurodevelopmental factors and the existence of other susceptibility genes, one particular gene can be involved in several disorders. In addition, studies occasionally find "modification" type genes that alter or negate the effects of a certain susceptibility gene.

Regarding the articles without abstracts, my snobbish attitude is that a research article should have an abstract if is worth reading; most major journals require them anyway. When I search PubMed, I typically use the feature that leaves out articles without abstracts. A trip to the NLM would be a nice way around the unbelievable prices for journals. There's a big push among some people to have more free articles made available; hopefully this concept will take hold eventually.
