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. Tw
Testing for linkage of eye tracking dysfunction and schizophrenia to markers on chromosomes 6, 8, 9, 20, and 22 in families multiply affected with schizophrenia

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
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
A VNTR for the human dopamine transporter gene (DAT-1) has been localized to chromosome 5p15.3. Silverman et al. [1996] found evidence for genetic linkage of the D5S111 locus, located just centromeric to DAT-1, to schizophrenia and related disorders in a large Hispanic family. We evaluated five mark
Sex chromosome anomalies have been associated with psychoses, and most of the evidence is linked to the presence of an additional X chromosome. We report a patient with XYY chromosome anomaly who developed schizophrenia.
## Freedman et al. [1997: Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 94:587-592] reported linkage in nine multiplex schizophrenia families to markers on chromosome 15, using impaired neuronal inhibition to repeated auditory stimuli (P50), a neurophysiological deficit associated with schizophrenia, as the phenotype. T
