Anitha, A., 2008 SNP: rs1543756, rs2051190, rs2070426, rs2073376, rs2073378, rs2073380, rs2186350, rs2249057, rs2249060, rs2268522, rs2268524, rs2839212, rs2839215, rs2839222, rs2839223, rs2839224, rs2839227, rs2839251, rs3737438, rs6518289, rs6518291, rs762250, rs9981892 None of the SNPs analyzed in our study showed a significant association with bipolar disorder; a weak tendency toward association was observed for two intronic SNPs. However, significantly higher expression of PCNT2 was observed in the brain samples of bipolar group, compared with the control and schizophrenia groups. In the peripheral blood lymphocytes also, a significantly higher expression of PCNT2 was observed in the bipolar group, compared with the control subjects. Negative Comment on Study
