DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a revised four-year competing continuation proposal for collaborative linkage and association studies of schizophrenia in a multicenter sample of 860 informative pedigrees under a narrow diagnostic model. Four of seven sites are participating as Collaborative R01s (Penn, Hopkins, Northwestern, VCU), and three sites (U. Wales, U. Paris VI, U. W. Australia) as consortia to the University of Pennsylvania. The investigators' meta-analysis of 20 schizophrenia genome scans identified a set of regions with significant evidence for linkage across scans. Linkage and association data from large samples can narrow the candidate regions and facilitate the identification of susceptibility genes and their interactions. A new 6 cM microsatellite genome scan will be carried out using 605 markers. The Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) will type 388 markers so that data can be readily integrated with two other large ongoing schizophrenia genome scans for a total of over 2,000 pedigrees. The Australian Genome Research Facility will type an additional 217 markers from high-density screening maps, selected to form the most evenly-spaced 6 cM map when combined with the CIDR map. A denser map can increase the power of the proposed analyses of linkage and of interactions between loci. Dimensional psychopathology ratings will also be completed for the entire sample and utilized in genetic analyses. Linkage fine-mapping studies of the best candidate regions will be undertaken using 2 cM microsatellite maps to maximize linkage information and to narrow the one-lod support interval in each region. One or more regions with evidence for linkage in this sample and in our schizophrenia genome scan meta-analysis will be selected for LD mapping studies (lllumina) to identify specific positional candidate genes. Carrying out these studies in a large multiplex pedigree sample bypasses the problem of population stratification and permits analyses of whether the evidence for association in a linked region also explains the linkage signal. Candidate gene replication studies will also be carried out to assess emerging findings in the field. Genotypes from the genome scan, LD mapping and replication studies will be made publicly available along with diagnoses and dimensional psychopathology ratings and factor scores. In response to reviewers' suggestions, this revised application includes a reduction in genotyping costs, centralization of most of the genotyping of microsatellite and SNP markers in high-throughput labs to improve quality control and efficiency, and improvement of the dimensional clinical rating component.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一份修订后的四年竞争性延续提案，用于在一个狭窄的诊断模型下，在860个信息谱系的多中心样本中进行精神分裂症的协作连锁和关联研究。7个站点中的4个作为协作R01s参与（宾夕法尼亚大学、霍普金斯大学、西北大学、弗吉尼亚州立大学），3个站点（威尔士大学、巴黎第六大学、澳大利亚大学）作为宾夕法尼亚大学的联盟。研究人员对20个精神分裂症基因组扫描进行了荟萃分析，确定了一组具有重要证据的区域，这些区域在扫描之间存在联系。来自大样本的连锁和关联数据可以缩小候选区域，并有助于鉴定易感基因及其相互作用。
