A recent case-control study suggested that modest enlargements of a CAG repeat in the hKCa3 potassium channel may be associated with bipolar disorder. We tried to replicate this result in a UK Caucasian sample of 203 DSM-IV bipolar I disorder patients and 206 controls group-matched for age and sex.
## Abstract Recent studies have indicated that the brainβderived neurotrophic factor (__BDNF__) gene is involved in the etiology of bipolar disorder (BPD). Two familyβbased association studies showed that the Val allele of the functional polymorphism Val66Met in the __BDNF__ gene is associated with
