Reference Tested Markers Statistical Values/Author Comments Result Category Comment on Study
Del-Favero, J.,2002 Other variant: TCF4_CTG18.1 Expanded alleles at the CTG18.1 locus cannot be excluded as a vulnerability factor for BP disorder. Positive Comment on Study
McInnis, M. G.,2000 Other variant: TCF4_CTG18.1 There are no data to implicate the CTG18.1 repeat within the SEF2-1b gene, and the current study indicates that CTG18.1 is unlikely to make a substantial contribution to vulnerability to these disorders, though a minor contribution can not be ruled out. Negative Comment on Study
Williams, H. J.,2011 SNP: rs9960767 Using data sets entirely independent of their original discoveries, we observed no significant evidence (P < 0.05) that the TCF4 region is associated with BD. Negative Comment on Study
Steinberg, S.,2012 SNP: rs4309482, rs9960767 No significant association was observed. Negative Comment on Study
Meira-Lima, I. V.,2001 Other variant: TCF4_CAG/CTG repeat Our data do not support the hypothesis that variation at the polymorphic CAG/CTG repeat loci SEF2-1b influence susceptibility to BPAD in our sample. Negative Comment on Study
Jin, D. K.,2001 Other variant: TCF4_CTG18.1 A longer CAG repeat alleles of KCNN3 or CTG 18.1 may not be a risk factor for BPAD in Korean population. Negative Comment on Study
