## Abstract Neurotransmission pathways/systems have been proposed to be involved in the pathophysiology and treatment of bipolar disorder for over 40 years. In order to test the hypothesis that common variants of genes in one or more of five neurotransmission systems confer risk for bipolar disorde
Association analysis of candidate genes may represent a strategy for clarifying the genetic components involved in bipolar disorder. Polymorphism at dopamine receptor genes DRD2, DRD4, and dopamine and serotonin transporter genes (DAT, SERT) has been used in previous association studies. Some author
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several susceptibility loci for bipolar disorder (BP), most notably ANK3. However, most of the inherited risk for BP remains unexplained. One reason for the limited success may be the genetic heterogeneity of BP. Clinical sub-phenotypes of BP ma
