Abstract excerpt
We report further evidence for our previous suggestion [Garner et al., 2001: Am J Hum Genet 68:1061-1064] of a locus on 5q predisposing to bipolar I disorder (BP-I) in an extended Costa Rican pedigree. We genotyped additional microsatellite markers in this region and applied a multi-point non-parametric linkage analysis (SimWalk2). Significant identity-by-descent allele sharing among affected relatives was...
