Reference Tested Markers Statistical Values/Author Comments Result Category Comment on Study
Jan, W. C., 2014 SNP: rs2284017, rs2284018, rs5750285
Haplotype: rs2284017 - rs2284018 - rs5750285(A-G-G)
Weak associations for CACNG2 (rs2284018) genes were observed. Positive Comment on Study
Ament, S. A., 2015 Regulatory P-value=0.00047, q-value=0.0041. The gene has significant rare variant associations to BD. Positive Comment on Study
Koefoed, P.,2011 SNP: rs2179871 CACNG2_rs2179871=2 occurred in 49 3-combinations.In 1000 permutation tests, at least one cluster of this type (with at least 37 pseudo-patients) were seen 42 times (p=0.042), two such clusters were seen 3 times (p=0.003), and at least three or more clusters of this type did not occur once(p<0.001).. The present analyses of the combinations of SNP genotypes support a role for both genetic heterogeneity and interactions in the genetic architecture of bipolar disorder. Positive Comment on Study
