Abstract excerpt
Parent-of-origin effects have been implicated as mediators of genetic susceptibility for a number of complex disease phenotypes, including bipolar disorder. Specifically, evidence for linkage on chromosome 18 is modified when allelic parent-of-origin is accommodated in the analysis. Our goal was to characterize the susceptibility locus for bipolar I disorder on chromosome 18p11 and investigate this...
