    Genome-wide association study of more than 40,000 bipolar disorder cases provides new insights into the underlying biology

    Bipolar disorder is a heritable mental illness with complex etiology. We performed a genome-wide association study of 41,917 bipolar disorder cases and 371,549 controls of European ancestry, which identified 6...

    Juxtaposed regions of extensive and minimal linkage disequilibrium in human Xq25 and Xq28

    Linkage disequilibrium (LD), or the non-random association of alleles, is poorly understood in the human genome1. Population genetic theory suggests that LD is determined by the age of the markers, population his...
