Evidence for suggestive linkage to schizophrenia with chromosome 6q markers was previously reported from a two-stage approach. Using nonparametric affected sib pairs (ASP) methods, nominal p-values of 0.00018 and 0.00095 were obtained in the screening (81 ASPs; 63 independent) and the replication (1

Three gene-rich loci-HS212G6, HSU93305, and HS884M20-within the short arm of the X chromosome have been examined for allelic association with schizophrenia by the transmission disequilibrium test in 70 families of male individuals affected with schizop h r e n i a .

Pulver et al. [1994a] reported modest linkage evidence for a dominantly (D) inherited ''schizophrenia gene'' in the vicinity of IL2RB on chromosome 22q12, and Coon et al. [1994] adduced moderate evidence under a recessive (R) model. We report here a replication study to test the hypothesis that one
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
