Abstract
The concordance of sib pairs was analyzed for HLA typing in cases where both sibs had affective illness and where the sibs were discordant. An excess of HLA similarities was detected in doubly affected sibs and a lack of similarities in discordant sibs. HLA may be linked with a primary affective disorder susceptibility locus or it may be associated with such a locus in some other way.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
