Detail Info
| Sample Diagnosis |
DSM-IV |
| Sample Status |
All patients with bipolar disorder were randomly recruited from Seoul National University Hospital in Korea. Patients were divided into three groups: bipolar disorder I (112), bipolar disorders I and II (136), and bipolar disorders I and II and schizoaffective disorder (163). |
| Technique |
genotyped with the TaqMan method |
| Statistical Method |
PowerMarker Version 3.25 and SPSS Version 12.0 were used for the genetic data analysis. Allele and genotype associations were evaluated by Fisher's exact test. Haplotype frequencies and the significance of haplotypic associations were determined by haplotype trend regression with 100,000 permutation repeats. |
| Result Summary |
They found significant genotypic associations with P1763 and P1320, but no association with SNP A in the bipolar I group. When they included bipolar II and schizoaffective disorder in the affected phenotype, the significance decreased. A positive association was observed between the SNP A-P1763 haplotype and the bipolar I phenotype. This haplotype association was lost when they either broadened our phenotype or included P1320 in a haplotype. The positive results of the present study lost significance after a Bonferroni correction for multiple testing. These findings are consistent with previous findings that showed a positive association of DTNBP1 with bipolar disorders. Moreover, their results suggest that DTNBP1 may contribute more to bipolar I disorder than bipolar II disorder or schizoaffective disorder. Further comprehensive studies will be required to clarify these association, however, it seems likely that DTNBP1 is a susceptibility gene for bipolar disorder. |
