Genomewide linkage scan in schizoaffective disorder: significant evidence for linkage at 1q42 close to DISC1, and suggestive evidence at 22q11 and 19p13.
CONTEXT Traditionally, the search for genes involved in predisposition to major psychoses has proceeded with separate studies of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. However, twin data suggest that, in addition to genes with specificity for these phenotypes, there exist genes that simultaneously influence susceptibility to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and schizoaffective disorder. OBJECTIV...
متن کاملA genomewide scan for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in an extended sample: suggestive linkage on 17p11.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD [MIM 143465]) is a common, highly heritable neurobehavioral disorder of childhood onset, characterized by hyperactivity, impulsivity, and/or inattention. As part of an ongoing study of the genetic etiology of ADHD, we have performed a genomewide linkage scan in 204 nuclear families comprising 853 individuals and 270 affected sibling pairs (ASPs). P...
متن کاملMultivariate genomewide linkage scan of neurocognitive traits and ADHD symptoms: suggestive linkage to 3q13.
Family and twin studies suggest that a range of neurocognitive traits index the inherited liability to ADHD; however, the utility of such measures as endophenotypes in molecular genetic studies remains largely untested. The current article examined whether the inclusion of neurocognitive measures in a genomewide linkage analysis of ADHD could aid in identifying QTL linked to the behavioral symp...
متن کاملA genome-wide scan for linkage to chromosomal regions in 382 sibling pairs with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.
OBJECTIVE Some genome-wide scans and association studies for schizophrenia susceptibility genes have yielded significant positive findings, but there is disagreement between studies on their locations, and no mutation has yet been found in any gene. Since schizophrenia is a complex disorder, a study with sufficient power to detect a locus with a small or moderate gene effect is necessary. MET...
متن کاملAssessing genomewide statistical significance in linkage studies.
Assessment of genomewide statistical significance in multipoint linkage analysis is a thorny problem. The existing analytical solutions rely on strong assumptions (i.e., infinitely dense or equally spaced genetic markers that are fully informative and completely observed, and a single type of relative pair) which are rarely satisfied in real human studies, while simulation-based methods are com...
