Genomewide interaction scan for BPAD. The different levels of ΔNPL scores are presented using different colors: red indicates ΔNPL scores >4; yellow indicates ΔNPL scores >3; green indicates ΔNPL scores >2; light blue indicates ΔNPL scores >1; dark blue indicates ΔNPL scores >0; black indicates ΔNPL scores <0.

3. Figure 2
Three-dimensional ΔNPL plot for the BPAD interaction between chromosomes 2q22-q24 and 6q23-q24. The 1-LOD intervals are given at the bottom of the plot, in blue. Genetic-marker positions are determined from the deCODE Genetics sex-averaged map, and ΔNPL scores are indicated by red lines. A, Interaction on chromosome 2q22-q24, presented using STRs on 6q as conditional markers (highest ΔNPL score 6.69). B, Interaction on chromosome 6q23-q24, presented using STRs on 2q as conditional markers (highest ΔNPL score 4.84).

Proportions of families contributing to the BPAD interaction. Each unit represents one linkage family (total n=52). A, BPAD interaction between chromosomes 2q22-q24 (D2S1353, D2S381, D2S222, D2S321, and D2S2950) and 6q23-q24 (D6S1587, D6S1626, D6S1699, D6S403, and D6S1569). Red indicates 10 families assigned a weightPROP factor >0 at markers within the top 10 interaction interval on 2q22-q24 and assigned a weightPROP factor of 0 at markers within the top 10 interaction interval on 6q23-q24. Blue indicates 14 families assigned a weightPROP factor >0 at markers on 6q23-q24 and assigned a weightPROP factor of 0 at markers on 2q22-q24. Purple indicates 22 families assigned a weightPROP factor >0 at markers on 2q22-q24 and at markers on 6q23-q24. Gray indicates six families assigned a weightPROP factor of 0 at all markers on 2q22-q24 and on 6q23-q24. B, Proportions of families with strong contribution—defined by weightPROP factors >1—to the BPAD interaction between chromosomes 2q22-q24 and 6q23-q24. Red indicates eight families assigned a weightPROP factor >1 at markers on 2q22-q24 and assigned a weightPROP factor of 0 at markers on 6q23-q24. Blue indicates eight families assigned a weightPROP factor >1 at markers on 6q23-q24 and assigned a weightPROP factor of 0 at markers on 2q22-q24. Purple indicates 11 families assigned a weightPROP factor >1 at markers on 2q22-q24 and at markers on 6q23-q24. Gray indicates 19 families assigned a weightPROP factor >0 at markers on 2q22-q24 (right) or at markers on 6q23-q24 (left). Black indicates six families assigned a weightPROP factor of 0 at all markers on 2q22-q24 and on 6q23-q24. C, BPAD interaction between chromosomes 2q22-q24 (D2S1353, D2S2395, D2S2950, D2S381, or D2S222) and 15q26 (STR15-980, STR15-994, or D15S107). Red indicates 15 families assigned a weightPROP factor >0 at markers on 2q22-q24 and assigned a weightPROP factor of 0 at markers on 15q26. Blue indicates 14 families assigned a weightPROP factor >0 at markers on 15q26 and assigned a weightPROP factor of 0 at markers on 2q22-q24. Purple indicates 17 families assigned a weightPROP factor >0 at markers on 2q22-q24 and at markers on 15q26. Gray indicates six families assigned a weightPROP factor of 0 at all markers within the top 10 interaction interval on 2q22-q24 and on 15q26. D, Proportions of families with strong contribution—defined by weightPROP factors >1—to the BPAD interaction between chromosomes 2q22-q24 and 15q26. Red indicates 12 families assigned a weightPROP factor >1 at markers on 2q22-q24 and assigned a weightPROP factor of 0 at markers on 15q26. Blue indicates four families assigned a weightPROP factor >1 at markers on 15q26 and assigned a weightPROP factor of 0 at markers on 2q22-q24. Purple indicates 11 families assigned a weightPROP factor >1 at markers on 2q22-q24 and at markers on 15q26. Gray indicates 22 families assigned a weightPROP factor of >0 at markers on 2q22-q24 (right) or at markers on 15q26 (left). Black indicates six families assigned a weightPROP factor of 0 at all markers within the top 10 interaction interval on 2q22-q24 and on 15q26.
