Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Disrupted intracellular calcium (Ca(2+) ) homeostasis (ICH) related to mitochondrial and/or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dysfunction has been implicated in bipolar disorder (BD). The anti-apoptotic protein B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), encoded in a putative BD susceptibility locus, modulates ER-Ca(2+) dynamics. Recently, an intronic single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the Bcl-2 gene, rs956572, was...
