## Abstract Genetic linkage studies in bipolar disorder (BPD) suggest that a susceptibility locus exists on chromosome 18p11. The metallophosphoesterase (__MPPE1__) gene maps to this region. Dysregulation of protein phosphorylation and subsequent abnormal cellular signaling has been postulated to b

~ W e have tested the hypothesis that DNA markers in the MAOA gene show allelic association with bipolar affective disorder. Eighty-four unrelated Caucasian patients with DSM 111-R bipolar disorder and 84 Caucasian controls were typed for three markers in MAOA a dinucleotide repeat in intron 2, a VN
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is one of the most abundant neurotransmitter peptides in the brain. CCK appears to play an important role in the neurobiology of anxiety and panic disorders (PD) in both humans and animals. Recently, we reported that lack of CCKAR had a significant anxiogenic-like effect in rat
The serotonin transporter (5HTT) gene appears to be of particular interest as 5HTT is the selective site of action of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) that successfully treat bipolar depression (BP). The 5HTT gene is located on chromosome 17q11.1-q12 and has a 44 bp deletion/insertion
