Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Valproate (VPA) is a mood stabilizer for treating patients with bipolar disorder (BD). It may cause metabolic abnormalities in certain bipolar patients. However, the genetic factors that influence the susceptibility remain unclear. Genetic polymorphism of the G-protein β3 subunit (GNB3) is reported to be associated with metabolic phenotypes. In the current study, we investigated the possible...
