Detail Info
Sample Diagnosis |
DSM-IV. We assessed the severity of manic symptoms using the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS); the severity of psychotic symptoms were assessed using the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS). |
Sample Status |
We excluded subjects with Axis I or II psychiatric comorbidities according to the DSM-IV, such as schizophrenia, alcohol abuse, substance abuse, or personality disorders. We also excluded subjects with significant organic brain disease or clinically significant somatic disease. |
Technique |
PCR |
Statistical Method |
X2-test, t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Bonferroni correction. The analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 12.0. |
Result Summary |
We failed to found the statistically significant association between three polymorphisms and bipolar disorder. However, there was a trend towards association between 5-HT2A -1438A/G polymorphism and psychotic symptom in bipolar disorder. Future research should seek to clarify this association. |

There were no significant differences in the genotype distributions or allelic frequencies in the three serotonergic polymorphisms between patients with bipolar disorder and normal controls. There were significant differences in genotype distributions and allele frequencies of the 5-HT2A -1438A/G polymorphism between the psychotic mania group and the non-psychotic mania group.

There were no significant differences in the genotype distributions or allelic frequencies in the three serotonergic polymorphisms between patients with bipolar disorder and normal controls. We did not find significant differences in the genotype distributions or allelic frequencies in the TPH1 218 A/C and TPH2 703G/T polymorphisms between the psychotic mania group and non-psychotic mania group.
