DeLisi et al. (199413) have examined the X and Y chromosomes for linkage to schizophrenia in 126 small families and report a small positive LOD score for the marker DXS7, adjacent to the MA0 locus at Xp11.4-11.3. Because of this, we have examined the DXS7 for linkage to schizophrenia using 17 pedig

A previous report [Blouin et al., 1998: Nat Genet 20:70-73] suggesting linkage to chromosomes 13q32 and 8p21 in families with schizophrenia led us to investigate these regions in a large set of 301 multiplex families with schizophrenia. Multipoint analyses failed to reveal evidence for linkage to an
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
The hypothesis that psychosis arises as a part of the genetic diversity associated with the evolution of language generates the prediction that illness will be linked to a gene determining cerebral asymmetry, which, from the evidence of sex chromosome aneuploidies, is present in homologous form on t
