✦ Synopsis


We explored the utility of probabilistic weighting of fringe phenotypes in linkage analysis of bipolar disorder for the GAW10 chromosome 18 data. Four liability classes were assigned probabilistic weights based on the estimated probability that the case was a true bipolar. The weights were incorporated in parametric and nonparametric, single and multipoint analyses.

The definition of phenotype is a major problem in genetic studies of psychiatric disorders. Most linkage studies in bipolar disorder have defined the phenotype as a dichotomous trait and have usually employed different hierarchical classifications in order to overcome uncertainty resulting from phen
