Abstract excerpt
A susceptibility locus for bipolar affective disorder has been mapped to chromosome 4q35 in a large multigenerational pedigree. We have expanded this analysis to include 55 pedigrees (674 individuals, 214 affecteds). The evidence for linkage to 4q35 was strengthened in this larger cohort, with a maximum two-point LOD score of 3.2 for marker D4S1652. Several other markers in the region gave LOD scores greater than...
