Perlis, 2008 SNP: rs1015101, rs10864702, rs11577215, rs1934909, rs2759346 permuted P< .005 in gene-based association tests. Among 3 genes associated with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder in multiple previous studies, only DISC1 showed evidence of association in this cohort. hese results suggest novel candidates and 1 gene (DISC1) previously associated with schizophrenia that merit further study in bipolar disorder. Positive Comment on Study

Hodgkinson, C. A.,2004 SNP: rs1407598, rs1535529, rs3524 These data support the idea that these apparently distinct disorders have at least a partially convergent etiology and that variation at the DISC1 locus predisposes individuals to a variety of psychiatric disorders. Positive Comment on Study

This result provides further supporting evidence for DISC1 as a susceptibility factor for both bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, consistent with the diagnoses in the original Scottish translocation family. Positive Comment on Study
Fallin, M. D.,2005 19 SNP typed, Median D'=0.16, Median r<sup>2</sup> =0, 10 LD blocks, 0.46 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
Chakirova, G.,2011 SNP: rs1538979, rs821633 In the bipolar group there was decreased activation in the risk carriers of SNP rs821633 in the inferior parietal lobule and left cingulate cortex. These findings may provide a better understanding of the neural effects of DISC1 variants and on the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder. Positive Comment on Study
Hennah, W.,2009 SNP: rs1538979, rs821577 These findings provide further support for the role of DISC1 in psychiatric illness and demonstrate the presence of locus heterogeneity, with the effect that clinically relevant genetic variants may go undetected by standard analysis of combined cohorts.
