Reference Tested Markers Statistical Values/Author Comments Result Category Comment on Study
Fallin, M. D.,2005 4 SNP typed, Median D'=1, Median r<sup>2</sup> =0.23, 1 LD blocks, 0.88 block coverage, all SNP or haplotype P-value > 0.05 in BP and SZ/SZA.. This gene is not suggestive to BP. Negative Comment on Study
Hartz, S. M.,2011 SNP: rs4952, rs4953, rs6474413 Our results suggest that (i) bipolar disorder does not modify the association between nicotine dependence and nicotinic receptor subunit genes, and (ii) variants in CHRNB3/CHRNA6 are independently associated with bipolar disorder. Positive Comment on Study
Shi, J., 2007 SNP: rs11783289, rs7004381, rs7017612 no evidence of interaction among these 19 cholinergic genes was found by Allelic Association, Haploview Tests, FITF analysis and FDR correction Negative Comment on Study
