Abstract
Depression and bipolar illness are the major affective disorders. Various genetic studies indicate the existence of inherited susceptibility factors. Recent linkage studies indicate that loci on chromosomes 18, 21, and X contribute to genetic susceptibility of bipolar illness.This publication has 58 references indexed in Scilit:
