Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants associated with response to lithium treatment in bipolar disorder: a genome-wide association study

Liping Hou, +136 more
- 12 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of lithium response in 2,563 patients collected by 22 participating sites from the International Consortium on Lithium Genetics (ConLiGen); the largest attempted so far finds a single locus of four linked SNPs on chromosome 21 met genome- wide significance criteria for association with lithium response.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide association study identifies two novel susceptibility loci and trans population polygenicity associated with bipolar disorder

TL;DR: Two novel and three previously implicated loci are significantly associated with bipolar disorder and that the BD ‘risk’ effect are shared between Japanese and European populations are indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of Polygenic Score for Schizophrenia and HLA Antigen and Inflammation Genes With Response to Lithium in Bipolar Affective Disorder: A Genome-Wide Association Study.

Azmeraw T. Amare, +126 more
- 09 Nov 2017 - 
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a negative association between high genetic loading for SCZ and poor response to lithium in patients with BPAD, suggesting the potential for translational research aimed at personalized prescribing of lithium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Longitudinal clinical course following pharmacological treatment of methamphetamine psychosis which persists after long-term abstinence.

TL;DR: The results suggest that both psychotic and affective symptoms are involved in therapeutic response and prognosis of METH psychosis, and three groups of patients showed apparent differences in prognoses during pharmacological treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of polygenic score for major depression with response to lithium in patients with bipolar disorder

Azmeraw T. Amare, +134 more
- 16 Mar 2021 - 
TL;DR: The findings underscore the genetic contribution to lithium response in BD and support the emerging concept of a lithium-responsive biotype in BD.
