ABSTRACT
CONTEXT: One strategy for identifying susceptibility genes for common disorders is to investigate Mendelian diseases, cosegregating with these common disease phenotypes. CASE REPORT: A family with seven members is described, in which three members present Darier's disease and depression. This apparent cosegregation, if true, would support the hypothesis that in some pedigrees, a gene for mood disorder may be located on chromosome 12
