Methods are described for the systematic construction of genetic models of schizophrenia with one, two, and four loci. All models are constrained to fit the following three parameters: (1) frequency of schizophrenia in the general population = 0.9%; (2) frequency of schizophrenia in the sibs of schizophrenics = 8%; and (3) frequency of "schizophrenic spectrum" in the sibs of schizophrenics = 15%. In addition, a fourth parameter, the frequency of the allele predisposing to schizophrenia, is freely variable. The problems of correcting for ascertainment bias, and of comparing and testing these genetic models, are discussed.
本文描述了构建具有一个、两个和四个基因座的精神分裂症遗传模型的系统方法。所有模型都被限制为符合以下三个参数:(1)普通人群中精神分裂症的发病率 = 0.9%;(2)精神分裂症患者同胞中精神分裂症的发病率 = 8%;(3)精神分裂症患者同胞中“精神分裂症谱系”的发病率 = 15%。此外,第四个参数,即导致精神分裂症的等位基因频率是自由可变的。文中还讨论了校正确定偏倚以及比较和检验这些遗传模型的问题。
