Detail Info
Sample Status |
The gene-based tests were performed using data from our previous GWAS of BD (9747 patients and 14 278 controls). This GWAS data set combined data from Canada, Australia and four European countries (MooDS) with the GWAS results of the multinational Psychiatric Genomics Consortium(PGC). |
Technique |
Genome-wide miRNA association analysis, Follow-up of miRNA association results—regional association plots, Follow-up of miRNA association results—miRNA brain expression, miRNA target gene analysis, Pathway analysis of target genes, Functional analyses of miR-499 and miR-708 in rat hippocampal neurons. |
Result Summary |
After correction for multiple testing, nine microRNAs showed a significant association with BD. The most promising were miR-499, miR-708 and miR-1908. Target gene and pathway analyses revealed 18 significant canonical pathways, including brain development and neuron projection. For miR-499, four Bonferroni-corrected significant target genes were identified, including the genome-wide risk gene for psychiatric disorder CACNB2. |
