At the X chromosome workshop of the Sixth World Congress on Psychiatric Genetics, new data regarding psychiatric phenotypes and the X chromosome were presented. In the last year a number of groups have published linkage results for the X chromosome in schizophrenia, which provide no significant evid

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
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
Evidence was presented that provided support for linkage in a relatively
a susceptibility locus for schizophrenia and one report on bipolar disorder were given. A potential locus for nocturnal enuresis has been suggested to reside on chromosome 22.
The Chromosome 5 Workshop heard new data on a schizophrenia susceptibility locus in the 5q23.3-q31.1 region. Sixty-two pedigrees from Finland gave a lod score of 1.36 at the CSF1R locus approximately 14 cM distal to IL9/D5S393, where positive results from three pedigree collections converged at the
