    Abstract:
    We present results from a genome-wide scan of a six generation pedigree with 28 affected members with apparently dominant bipolar I disorder from eastern Cuba. Genotypes were obtained using the early access version of the Genechip Mapping 10K Xba array from AFFYMETRIX. Parametric and non-parametric linkage analyses under dominant and recessive models were performed using GENEHUNTER v2.1r5. Two phenotypic models were included in the analyses: bipolar I disorder and recurrent depressive disorder, or bipolar I disorder only. LOD scores were calculated for the entire family combined, and for four subdivisions of the family. For the entire family a suggestive parametric LOD score was obtained under the dominant model and the broader phenotype at 14q11.2-12 (LOD = 2.05). In the same region, a non-parametric LOD score close to genome-wide significance was also obtained, based on the entire family (NPL = 7.31, P-value = 0.07). For two individual branches of the pedigree, genome-wide significance (P < 0.005) was obtained with NPL scores of 8.71 and 12.99, respectively, also in the same region on chromosome 14. Chromosome 5q21.3-22.3 also showed close to genome-wide significant linkage for the complete pedigree (NPL = 7.26, P = 0.07), also supported by significant linkage in one individual branch (NPL = 9.86, P < 0.005). In addition, genome-wide significant nonparametric results (P-values <0.005) were obtained for individual branches at 5p13.1-q12.3, 6p22.3, 8q13.3-21.13, and 10q22.3-23.32. Finally, 2p25.1-25.3, 2p13.3-14, 3p14.2, 6p22.3-24.1, 7p14.1-14.2, 8q12.2-12.3, 10q21.1-21.2, 14q13.1-21.1, 15q15.1-21.2, and 22q12.3-13.32 showed suggestive linkage in the complete family. Most of these potential susceptibility loci overlap with, or are close, to previous linkage findings. The locus on 5q may, however, represent a novel susceptibility locus.
