Involvement of genetic factors in bipolar disorders: current status.

Abstract excerpt

Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks. The involvement of genetic factors has been evaluated through twin, family, linkage and association studies but specific genes that contribute to the illness remain unclear. This study gives an overview of available literature.
