Genome‐scan for bipolar disorder with sib‐pair families in the Sardinian population: A new susceptibility locus on chromosome 1p22–p21?

Abstract: The discovery of the genetic factors implicated in the predisposition to complex diseases may greatly profit from genetic studies in isolated populations. In this perspective, we performed a genome-wide scan using 507 microsatellite markers, with an average interval size of 7.6 cM, on a sample of 88 nuclear families with at least two affected sibs with bipolar disorder recruited in the Sardinian population. An initial analysis yielded non-parametric linkage exceeding 3.4 with P-values <0.0003 at two adjacent m… Show more

“…A genome-wide scan on a sample of 88 nuclear families with at least two affected sibs with bipolar disorder (BD) recruited in the Sardinian population, showed positive nonparametric linkage (NPL) scores exceeding 3.4 with P-values <0.0003 with two adjacent markers, D1S206 and D1S435 at 1p22-p21, a chromosomal region that had never been linked to BD before. Moreover, a subsequent fine mapping of the 1p22-p21 region confirmed the suggestive linkage finding for this region with NPL values above 2.2 and P-values < 0.02 for a cluster of nine markers comprising D1S435 (Del Zompo et al 2010).…”
