The last 12 months have seen unprecedented progress in identifying the susceptibility genes that predispose to common disease in general and Crohn's disease in particular. Success has derived from the new technique of genome-wide association scanning in large panels of cases and controls. This has i

## Schizophrenia has a complex pattern of inheritance, indicative of interactions among multiple genes and environmental factors. The detection and replication of specific susceptibility loci for such complex disorders are facilitated by the availability of large samples of affected sib pairs and
Objective. To identify chromosomal regions containing genes involved in the susceptibility to primary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP). Methods. Six extended families with multiple individuals affected with primary RP (n β«Ψβ¬ 37) were examined for linkage in a 2-stage, whole-genome screen, using a total of
Background: Both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) have a complex etiology involving multiple genetic and environmental factors. Many genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and subsequent replication studies revealed that both diseases share some of the susceptibility loci; however, c
