β¦ Synopsis
In the course of recruiting families with 2 schizophrenic siblings for genome screening and linkage studios, a family was found with mental retardittion, schizophrenia, andor other related psychotic illnesses in individuals who also had an unbalanced or balanced translocation between chromosomes 21-18 [t(18;21) (pll.l;pll.l)]. The pericentric region of chi~omosome 18 has already been noted as a possible location of a gene for bipolar psychosis. The family described here provides further evidence that this region should be examined for a candidate psychosis gene.

The t(11;18)(q21;q21) translocation has recently been identified as a recurring chromosomal abnormality in a subset of extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, a low-grade lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT).

## Abstract Attempts to identify bipolar disorder (BP) genes have only enjoyed limited success. One potential cause for this problem is that the traditional categorical BP phenotypes currently used in genetic linkage studies are not the most informative, efficient, or biologically relevant. An alte
