Abstract excerpt

We carried out nonparametric linkage (NPL) analysis of the five chromosome 18 data sets for bipolar illness, as well as of the combined data set. Prior to analysis, we constructed a common genetic map and computed separate marker allele frequencies for each data set. We also attempted to create t...
