A recent NIH-funded study represents the largest genome-wide analysis of bipolar disorder, uncovering nearly 300 gene locations and 36 unique genes associated with the disorder. With 158,036 participants with bipolar disorder and nearly 2.8 million controls from diverse ancestries, the study offers valuable insights that diverge from previous research focused primarily on individuals of European descent. By revealing the complex genetic factors contributing to bipolar disorder, the findings may facilitate the development of targeted and personalized interventions to improve treatment outcomes.
The largest genome-wide study of bipolar disorder provides new insights into its genetic architecture and paves the way for more personalized treatments.
Researchers identified nearly 300 gene locations and 36 unique genes associated with bipolar disorder, significantly expanding our understanding of its genetic basis.
