Abstract excerpt
Bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) is a complex disease with a significant genetic component and a population lifetime risk of 1%. Our previous work identified a region of human chromosome 4p that showed significant linkage to BPAD in a large pedigree. Here, we report the construction of an accurate, high-resolution physical map of 6.9 Mb of human chromosome 4p15.3-p16.1, which includes an 11-cM (5.8 Mb) critical...
