Reference Tested Markers Statistical Values/Author Comments Result Category Comment on Study
Ament, S. A., 2015 P-value=0.011. No individual gene had a significant burden of segregating rare variants in BD pedigrees after correcting for multiple tests, although several genes had suggestive trends. Positive Comment on Study
McQuillin, A.,2011 Gene related CNV occurred in two or more cases but not in controls. Trend Comment on Study
Xu, W., 2014 SNP: rs2852571 SNPs were identified with suggestive association at a number of other genes with plausible biological arguments for involvement in, and/or previous associations to BD, such as GRIK2 (p=4.18×10-5). Negative Comment on Study
