A genome-wide scan for genetic linkage can suggest fresh insights into disease aetiology. However, in the case of complex disorders such as bipolar affective disorder (BPAD), the results of genome-wide scans must be interpreted with caution. We review 10 published and 10 in-progress genome scans of BPAD, encompassing 3536 affected individuals in 1119 pedigrees. We find that ascertainment methods vary widely, with...
