Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to investigate the association between REV-ERBalpha gene (NR1D1) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and bipolar disorder (BP) in a case-control sample of Sardinian ancestry and evaluate its effect on age at onset (AAO) of BP. METHODS: We genotyped SNPs rs12941497 (SNP1) and rs939347 (SNP2), located, respectively, in the first intron and in the 5'UTR region of the gene, in a...
