Evidence for a pseudoautosomal locus for a schizophrenia susceptibility gene was sought by two forms of analysis of 25 multiply affected families. Firstly, in the sample as a whole there was an excess of same-sex over mixed-sex siblings compared with that expected. Secondly, linkage analysis was performed in six of the families. The genotypes were studied for DXYS14, a highly polymorphic marker in the telomeric pseudoautosomal region. No evidence for positive linkage was found with two-point analysis under eight different genetic models for the mode of transmission. A non-parametric, sibling-pair analysis also failed to detect linkage. Our findings provide no evidence for linkage within the pseudoautosomal region; same-sex concordance must arise from some other mechanism.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D012730 Sex Chromosomes The homologous chromosomes that are dissimilar in the heterogametic sex. There are the X CHROMOSOME, the Y CHROMOSOME, and the W, Z chromosomes (in animals in which the female is the heterogametic sex (the silkworm moth Bombyx mori, for example)). In such cases the W chromosome is the female-determining and the male is ZZ.
