Several recent reports of possible susceptibility loci for bipolar affective disorder (BAD) have identified sites on a number of chromosomes. Specifically, two Danish studies have suggested the presence of a susceptibility locus for BAD on chromosome 16p13. As the first step of a whole genome scan,
Transmission studies have supported the presence of a susceptibility gene for bipolar (BP) illness on the X-chromosome. Initial linkage studies with color blindness (CB), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, and the blood coagulation factor IX (F9) have suggested that a gene for BP i
We sought evidence for the involvement of mutations in the amyloid precursor protein gene (APP) in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia in two ways. First, linkage analysis was performed in a sample of 24 families multiply aβ¬fected with schizophrenia. The genotypes were studied for GT12 (D21S210), a hi
