Detail Info
| Sample Diagnosis |
DSM-IV |
| Sample Status |
the patients were recruited in eight collaborative centers (Athens, Bonn, Brussels, Edinburgh, Jerusalem, Milan, Sofia, Zagreb); 66 were early onset BP of 625 patients |
| Technique |
genotyping |
| Statistical Method |
logistic regression |
| Result Summary |
The Ser23 allele may be involved as a specific susceptibility gene in EO-BP phenotype or act as a modifier factor, contributing to influence AAO of the BP phenotype. |

A significant association emerged with an excess of HTR2C Ser23 allele in EO-BP patients compared to controls and BP with AAO>16. No difference was shown between BP group with AAO>16 years and controls.
