Abstract excerpt
This study is the first that formally tests for genetic heterogeneity of bipolar disorder (BD) according to age at onset (AAO) sub-groups by combining positional cloning and candidate gene approaches. Our previous genome-wide linkage-scan identified five genomic regions linked to early-onset form of BD. The present study uses association analysis to test genetic heterogeneity of candidate genes located in these...
