Abstract: Objective To explore the genetic susceptibility loci on 13q of schizophrenia in Chinese pedigrees.Methods 4 multiplex schizophrenia pedigrees were collected.Blood samples were collected from the families and genomic DNA was extracted.7 microsatellite markers on 13q14-13q33 were evaluated.Linkage analyses were carried out by GENEHUNTER 2.1 software.Results The results of single point-point nonparametric linkage analyses are positive at 5 consecutive locus.The NPL score are 1.40,2.25,2.06,1.71 and 1.39 at D13S156,D13S170,D13S265,D13S159,and D13S158 respectively.A 50cM positive region was observed by multipoint nonparametric linkage analyses.Positive regions were also observed by single-point and multipoint parametric linkage analyses.Conclusion Loci on 13q22.1-13q33.1 may influence susceptibility to schizophrenia.
