Genetic mapping studies in bipolar disorder (BD) have been hampered by the unclear boundaries of the phenotypic spectrum, and possibly, by the complexity of the underlying genetic mechanisms, and heterogeneity. Among the suggested approaches to circumvent these problems, a pharmacogenetic strategy has been increasingly proposed. Several studies have indicated that patients with BD who respond well to lithium...
