Strong evidence supports a bipolar disorder susceptibility locus at chromosome 21q22-23. Ongoing research continues to refine the location, aiming to identify specific genes contributing to bipolar disorder risk.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • The 1997 workshop identified chromosome 21q22-23 as a potential susceptibility locus for bipolar disorder.
  • Subsequent research has focused on refining this region through multiple genetic studies.

Framework:

  • This report synthesizes findings from four independent research groups and additional studies.
  • It incorporates data from large multiplex National Institute of Mental Health pedigrees and US/Israeli pedigrees.

Implementation:

  • Utilized affected sib pair analysis (p = 0.0006) and admixture lod score analysis (lod = 3.35).
  • Investigated overlapping chromosomal regions proximal to the PFKL gene.

Implications:

  • The evidence strongly implicates the C21q22-23 region in bipolar disorder susceptibility.

  • Further investigation is expected to identify specific susceptibility genes, advancing understanding and treatment of bipolar disorder.
