title: Search for a schizophrenia susceptibility gene on chromosome 18.
abstract: Nine multiplex schizophrenia families were genotyped with 15 microsatellite markers mapping to the short and long arm of chromosome 18. Assuming either autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance evidence of linkage was not found. In addition, the non-parametric sib pair test did not reveal significant evidence of linkage.
