Detail Info
Sample Diagnosis |
DSM-IV |
Sample Status |
All the patients were diagnosed according to the DSM-IV criteria. The final diagnosis on every patient was made by two independent psychiatrists on the basis of interview data and hospital case notes. There are 419 bipolar I disorders, 83 Bipolar II disorders and 4 Cyclothymic disorders. |
Technique |
Genotyped using TaqMan® technology |
Statistical Method |
SHEsis was used to analyze Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, allelic and genotypic distributions and pairwise linkage disequilibrium (LD). Linkage disequilibrium of all pairs of SNPs was estimated with D' according to the standardized measurement. Haplotype distribution was initially performed on Haploview 4.0RC1 and further analysis was carried out on SHEsis. For all analyses, p values were two tailed and the significance level was set at p<0.05. |
Result Summary |
rs10784941 was not in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibriumand therefore excluded from further analysis. rs1386486 and rs1872824 showed statistically significant differences between cases and controls in genotype frequencies (rs1386486: P-value=0.043351; rs1872824: P-value=0.016563), but no association in allele frequencies. Strong LD was found among rs1386494, rs2171363 and rs4760816, but no positive association with BPD was found for haplotypes. |
