Abstract excerpt
We performed a genome-wide scan for susceptibility loci in bipolar disorder in a study sample colleted from the isolated Finnish population, consisting of 41 families with at least two affected siblings. We identified one distinct locus on 16p12 providing significant evidence for linkage in two-point analysis (Z(max)=3.4). Furthermore, three loci with a two-point LOD score >2.0 were observed with markers on 4q32,...
