The 116C/G polymorphism in the promoter region of XBP1 is known to be associated with bipolar disorders. The G allele of the XBP1-116C/G polymorphism has reduced XBP1-dependent transcription activity compared with the C allele. Valproate treatment has been known to rescue the impaired response of cells with the G allele. We investigated the hypothesis that the G allele of XBP1-116C/G has better prophylactic...
