Combinations of genetic variants associated with bipolar disorder
The main objective of the study was to find genetic variants that in combination are significantly associated with bipolar disorder. In previous studies of bipolar disorder, combinations of three and four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) genotypes taken from 803 SNPs were analyzed, and five clusters of combinations were found to be significantly associated with bipolar disorder. In the pre...
متن کاملGenetic variants associated with response to lithium treatment in bipolar disorder: a genome-wide association study
BACKGROUND Lithium is a first-line treatment in bipolar disorder, but individual response is variable. Previous studies have suggested that lithium response is a heritable trait. However, no genetic markers of treatment response have been reproducibly identified. METHODS Here, we report the results of a genome-wide association study of lithium response in 2563 patients collected by 22 partici...
متن کاملGenetic Variants Involved in Bipolar Disorder, a Rough Road Ahead
Background Bipolar Disorder (BD), along with depression and schizophrenia, is one of the most serious mental illnesses, and one of the top 20 causes of severe impairment in everyday life. Recent molecular studies, using both traditional approaches and new procedures such as Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS), have suggested that genetic factors could significantly contribute to the development of BD...
متن کاملFunctional variants of TSPAN8 are associated with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
Tetraspanins affect protein trafficking and are known to influence a wide variety of physiologic processes. Recently, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the tetraspanin gene TSPAN8 were found among the best ranked markers of genome wide association studies on bipolar disorder (BPD) (rs1705236) and type-2 diabetes, but functional consequences remained largely unknown. In the present study...
متن کاملValuing happiness is associated with bipolar disorder.
Although people who experience happiness tend to have better psychological health, people who value happiness to an extreme tend to have worse psychological health, including more depression. We propose that the extreme valuing of happiness may be a general risk factor for mood disturbances, both depressive and manic. To test this hypothesis, we examined the relationship between the extreme val...
