OBJECTIVE: A number of studies have implicated the chromosome 18p11 region as a susceptibility region for bipolar disorder. The gene encoding gamma-SNAP (NAPG), one of three soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion (NSF)-attachment proteins (SNAPs), is located in the 18p11 region and is thought to play a role in cellular processes required for neurotransmission in the central nervous system. The purpose of this...
