Reference Tested Markers Statistical Values/Author Comments Result Category Comment on Study
Xu, C.,2012 SNP: rs4375, rs3788533
Haplotype: rs4375 - rs3788533(T-C), rs4375 - rs3788533(C-G)
Association with BD as a whole was observed in the family study (significant over transmissions of rs3788533-allele C, P=0.015, PBonferroni=0.03, TDTPHASE). A significant association of iPLA2beta variants with BD-I and a trend gene-gene interaction between iPLA2beta and TRPM2 provides additional support for the notion that genetic variation in these two functionally implicated candidates contributes toward the risk and pathophysiology of this illness. Positive Comment on Study
Meira-Lima, I.,2003(a) Other variant: iPLA2_C/T Our results failed to demonstrate that the studied PLA2 polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk for BPAD in our sample. Negative Comment on Study
