Detail Info
Sample Diagnosis |
DSM-IV |
Technique |
PCR and genotyping |
Statistical Method |
X2 test was used to analyze the difference in allele and genotype frequencies between the patients with bipolar disorder and the control group. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. |
Result Summary |
There were no significant differences in genotype frequencies of CTLA4*G/G, CTLA4*G/A, and CTLA4*A/A between the patients with bipolar disorder and the control group (48.9% vs 46.3%, 44.4% vs 39.6%, and 6.7% vs 14.1%, respectively). There were no significant differences in allelic frequencies of CTLA4*G and CTLA4*A between the patients with bipolar disorder and the control group (71.1% vs 66.1%; 28.9% vs 33.9%, respectively). In the present study an association was not found of exon 1 (+49) polymorphism of CTLA4 gene with bipolar disorder in the Korean |
