Interactions with antidepressants, as well as other biochemical evidence, implicate the serotonin transporter 5-HTT in the etiology of affective disorders. However, genetic studies have produced conflicting results concerning an association of 5-HTT with bipolar disorder. We examined a variable numb

Genetic factors may be associated with disease subtype as well as susceptibility. We have therefore typed polymorphisms at the serotonin transporter, dopamine receptor, tryptophan hydroxylase, tyrosine hydoxylase, and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) loci in 139 unipolar and 131 bipolar patients and inves
Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). An association study in bipolar affective disorder I or unipolar major affective disorder was performed by using a Bfa I restriction site polymorphism within intron 7 of the tryptophan hydroxylas
Evidence for a bipolar disorder (BPD) susceptibility locus on chromosome 22q11 has been provided in several studies. One candidate gene that maps to this region is the G-protein โฃ subunit gene Gโฃz (GNAZ). We have identified a common silent polymorphism in GNAZ exon 2 by single strand conformation po
Bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) is a complex disease with a significant genetic component. Heterozygous carriers of Wolfram syndrome (WFS) are at increased risk of psychiatric illness. A gene for WFS (WFS1) has recently been cloned and mapped to chromosome 4p, in the general region we previously r
