Reference Tested Markers Statistical Values/Author Comments Result Category Comment on Study
Wang, Y., 2008 SNP: rs1601012, rs303810, rs60637 Two SNPs showed statistically significant differences between bipolar patients and controls in both allele and genotype distribution. Our results indicate that SCN8A may be a potential susceptibility gene for bipolar disorder in the Han Chinese population. Positive Comment on Study
