Abstract excerpt
The pathophysiology of bipolar disorder is still unclear, although family, twin and linkage studies implicate genetic factors. Here we identified XBP1, a pivotal gene in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, as contributing to the genetic risk factor for bipolar disorder. Using DNA micr...
