Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is a potentially powerful tool for the localization of disease genes for complex disorders. Most prior studies of the relationship between genetic distance and LD have examined only very short distances, focusing on the role of LD in fine-mapping and positional cloning. W

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.

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

Previous studies have indicated possible linkage of schizophrenia with chromosome 6p21-24. In an attempt to replicate these findings, we studied the linkage of schizophrenia with nine markers on chromosome 6p21-24 in 39 Taiwanese schizophrenic nuclear families with at least two affected siblings.

Several reports have indicated genetic linkage between markers on the short arm of chromosome 6 and schizophrenia. However, significant threshold levels were not always achieved, and the chromosomal regions identified are large and different in different families. One way to decrease the problem of
