Susceptibility of schizophrenia and affective disorder not associated with loci on chromosome 6q in Han Chinese population

BackgroundSeveral linkage studies across multiple population groups provide convergent support for susceptibility loci for schizophrenia – and, more recently, for affective disorder – on chromosome 6q. We explore whether schizophrenia and affective disorder have common susceptibility gene on 6q in Han Chinese population.
