In this trove of genetic information, the researchers identified 298 stretches of the genome containing gene variants that ...

BD affects millions but remains misunderstood, underdiagnosed, and underfunded. Researchers are working to change this by ...

Bipolar disorder affects 40-50 million people globally, with genetic heritability between 60-80%, and can be triggered by both positive and negative life events, including promotions or new ...

including different types of bipolar disorder. Due to the large sample size, the study greatly increased genetic discovery to nearly 300 genetic variants associated with bipolar disorder," says ...

New research suggests that mood swings in bipolar disorder are regulated by two clocks: the body’s 24-hour circadian rhythm ...

An assessment of 73,929 people with bipolar disorder and/or schizophrenia from a Swedish registry found evidence that the two disorders also share more than half of their genetic determinants.

The genetic architecture underlying bipolar disorder varied with subtype and how cases were identified. Bipolar disorder is a complex psychiatric condition that involves mood episodes (mania or ...

NIAMH MULLINS: In this study, we found 298 genomic regions linked to bipolar disorder. So each of these regions is a window into the biology of the disorder. Each one can include many genes. And we ...

including different types of bipolar disorder. Due to the large sample size, the study greatly increased genetic discovery to nearly 300 genetic variants associated with bipolar disorder.

The identification of the genes responsible for major psychiatric illnesses such as bipolar disorder would greatly enhance our understanding of etiology, as well as open new avenues for the ...

In this trove of genetic information, the researchers identified 298 stretches of the genome containing gene variants that may boost the risk of bipolar disorder. They also zoomed in on 36 ...
