“…Our data relating to the estimates of affected first-degree relatives of bipolar index cases indicate that a higher incidence of psychiatric, and in particular affective, disturbance appears in female relatives of bipolar probands. These findings are in accordance with some previous studies (5,8,11,12,(14)(15)(16)23), but not with others (1, 2). The risk for psychiatric illness in the first-degree relatives of patients with bipolar illness is above 50 %, in each type of relative (i.e., parents, sibs, children).…”

“…For affective disorders in general, females have been found to outnumber males (Weissman & Klerman, 1977) both in familial investigations (Cadoret, Winokur, & Clayton, 1970;Ferris, 1966; and in population studies (Helgason, 1964). Moreover, Winokur and his colleagues have reported a female-male ratio of approxi-mately 2:1 for bipolar I groups, whereas Ferris (1966Ferris ( ,1968Ferris ( ,1973 and others (Goetzl, Green, Whybrow, & Jackson, 1974) have found parity for bipolar I sex ratios. In contrast, Ferris (1973) reported a 2:1 femalemale sex ratio for unipolar disorders.…”

“…Support for these corollaries of the Xlinkage hypothesis in bipolar I disorders has generally been found (Cadoret & Winokur, 197S;Cadoret et al, 1970;Helzer & Winokur, 1974;Mendlewicz & Rainer, 1974;, although controversy exists (Goetzl et al, 1974;James & Chapman, 197S;Loranger, 1975;Ferris, 1973). In addition to the previously cited discrepancy in sex ratio incidence rates, for which Ferris found parity between male and female bipolar patients in contrast with the general trend for a greater incidence in females, the major point of contention has been the reported discoveries of father-son transmission of bipolar disorders.…”

“…More damaging to the sex-linkage hypothesis is the frequent occurrence of father to son trans mission in certain studies (Angst, 1966;Perris. 1966;Goetzl et al, 1974;Von Grieff et al, 1975;James and Chapman, 1975). While the sex-linkage hypothesis can accommodate an occasional case of father-son transmission, due to incomplete penetrance in mothers (Crowe and Smouse, 1977) and assortative mating (Dünner ei al, 1976), the frequency of such transmission in these studies is simply too high for sex-linkage to be an attractive hypothesis in all cases.…”
