The Sixth World Congress on Psychiatric Genetics (Bonn, Germany, October 1998) provided a forum to review the linkage findings for psychiatric disorders on chromosome 6. Interest continues to center on 6p 24-22 for schizophrenia. Another area of possible linkage to both schizophrenia and bipolar dis

The report of the 1997 workshop presented overall evidence providing strong support for a susceptibility locus for bipolar disorder at C21q22-23. The 1998 workshop considered the latest results from four groups, and additional studies also have been incorporated into this report. The workshop noted
Ring chromosome 22 has been described in over 50 cases. A characteristic phenotype has not been fully delineated; however, long face, thick eyebrows, 2-3 toe syndactyly, mental retardation, adequate somatic growth and the absence of major malformations are noted in many cases. An 11-yearold boy with
The chromosomes 8 and 10 workshop took place at the Sixth World Congress on Psychiatric Genetics from October 6 th -10 th , 1998 in Bonn, Germany. Aim of the workshop was to discuss and summarize reports on potential susceptibility genes for psychiatric disorders. Linkage-findings on chromosome 8 co
Recent linkage results independently derived from a large French Canadian pedigree and Danish kindreds coupled with supportive data from other studies provide compelling evidence for a bipolar disorder susceptibility locus on chromosome 12q23-q24. The idea is further strengthened by the finding that
