Abstract excerpt
We performed global RNA transcript analysis and comprehensive gene group analysis of peripheral blood leukocyte (PBL) RNA from two groups of matched sib-pairs that were discordant for either schizophrenia (n = 33 sib-pairs) or bipolar disorder (n = 5 sib-pairs). The pairs chosen for these analyses were selected from families with known patterns of genetic linkage (5q for schizophrenia and 6q for bipolar...
