Abstract

We have analysed 298 polymorphic markers in 13 families multiply affected with schizophrenia and related disorders using a combination of radiolabelled and fluorescent-based methodologies. The markers were distributed throughout the autosomes at an average spacing of 12.8 cM. The data were analysed with two-point linkage analysis (MLINK) and heterogeneity testing (HOMOG). Several genetic models were used ranging from near dominant to fully recessive. Multi-point analysis was performed for 27 regions demonstrating either contiguously positive lod scores in two or more consecutive markers, and in regions with two-point lod score(s) of 1.0 or above in a single marker. A proportion of the multi-point regions have been implicated in previous studies, thereby decreasing risk of false-positive results. However neither our two-point, nor multi-point scores reached the threshold value for significance of 3. 6. Nevertheless three regions were suggestive of linkage.
