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

Cellular circadian clocks in mood disorders.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that circadian clock dysfunction in non-SCN clocks is a trait marker of mood disorders, encoded by pathological genetic variants, in cellular clocks that are likely to be more representative than the SCN of mood-regulating neurons in patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study of 40,000 individuals identifies two novel loci associated with bipolar disorder.

Liping Hou, +148 more
TL;DR: A two-stage meta-analysis of GWAS of bipolar disorder patients and controls revealed genome-wide significant associations at two novel loci, adding to a growing list of common autosomal variants involved in BD and illustrating the power of comparing well-characterized cases to an excess of controls in GWAS.
