                            | Statistical Method | Two models of the affected phenotype were used in linkage analysis: Affection Status Model I (ASM I) that includes bipolar I, bipolar II with major depression, and schizoaffective disorder; and Affection Status Model II (ASM II) that includes ASM I and is broadened to include persons with two or more episodes of major depression with impairment.ASPEX was used for nonparametric multipoint and single-point linkage analysis. | 
                        
                        
                        
                            | Result Summary | The strongest linkage evidence was detected by multipoint linkage analysis (ASPEX program) around D13S779-D13S225 with maximum LOD score of 3.25 under Affection Status Model II (ASM II; P = 0.0000546). Data from additional nine markers resulted in a decrease of the 95% confidence interval of the linkage region. Association analyses with GASSOC TDT and ASPEX/sib_tdt detect potential linkage disequilibrium with several markers, including D13S280 (ASPEX TDT P = 0.0033, ASM I). These data generated using a higher marker density within the proposed susceptibility region strengthen the validity of our previous findings and suggest a finer localization of the susceptibility gene(s) on 13q32. |
