Reference	Tested Markers	Statistical Values/Author Comments	Result Category	Comment on Study
Puertollano, R.,1995	Other variant: GABRA3_(AC)n	We have not found significant differences between controls and patients in allele frequencies or genotypes	Negative	Comment on Study
Massat, I.,2002(a)	Other variant: GABRA3_CA repeat	Our findings suggest that the GABRA3 polymorphism may confer susceptibility to or may be in linkage disequilibrium with another gene involved in the genetic etiology of BPAD.	Positive	Comment on Study
Duffy, A.,2000	Other variant: GABRA3_GDB156286	In conclusion, our study does not support the hypothesis that genes coding for CRH or PENK contribute to the genetic susceptibility to bipolar disorder.	Negative	Comment on Study
