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
