β¦ Synopsis
~ 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 VNTR in intron 1, and an Fnu4HI RFLP in exon 8. No evidence for allelic association was observed between any of the markers and bipolar disorder. @

## Abstract Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) has been implicated in the control of aggression and/or impulsivity in humans and been involved in suicide. This gene has a functional polymorphism in which there is a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) in the upstream region (MAOAβuVNTR). We hypothesized th
A recent study reported a possible association between allele 1 of the dopamine D 3 receptor gene and bipolar affective disorder using the haplotype relative risk approach. In attempt to replicate these findings, we used similar family-based methods, such as the Haplotype-Based Haplotype Relative Ri
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.
