Abstract excerpt
In the course of a systematic genomic survey, 22 manic-depressive (bipolar) families were examined for linkage to 11 chromosome 18 pericentromeric marker loci, under dominant and recessive models. Overall logarithm of odds score analysis for the pedigree series was not significant under either mo...
