Reference Tested Markers Statistical Values/Author Comments Result Category Comment on Study
Lee, S. Y., 2012 Other variant: ALDH2_*1*2 allele ALDH2*1*1: P-value = 0.002, OR(95% CI)=4.48(1.76-11.40) in BP-I, P-value = 0.425, OR(95% CI)=1.34(0.66-2.73) in BP-II. The regression showed a significant association of the ALDH2 with BP-I only. Positive Comment on Study
Lee, S. Y.,2010 Haplotype: ALDH2_*1/*2 - rs1800497((ALDH2_1*1*)-(DRD2 Taq-I A1/A2)), ALDH2_*1/*2 - rs1800497((ALDH2_1*1*)-(DRD2Taq-I A1/A1))
Other variant: ALDH2_*1/*2
Our findings may provide initial evidence that the ALDH2 and DRD2/ANKK1 genes interact in specific subtypes of bipolar disorders. Our findings also suggest a unique genetic distinction between bipolar I and bipolar II disorders. Positive Comment on Study
Wang, Y. S., 2013 a significant interaction of the DRD2 Taq-I A1/A1 and the ALDH2*1*1 genotypes in BP-II without AD was revealed compared with normal controls Positive Comment on Study
