Evidence consistent with the existence of genetic linkage between bipolar disorder and three regions on chromosome 18, the pericentromeric region, 18q21, and 18q22-q23 have been reported. Some analyses indicated greater evidence for linkage in pedigrees in which paternal transmission of disease occu

Over the last three years several studies have investigated the hypothesis of linkage between bipolar disorder and markers on chromosome 18. Although independent groups have reported positive results, it is still not clear how these should be interpreted, as linkage spans a considerably large segmen
