Abstract excerpt
Evidence of primate-specific genes and gene regulatory mechanisms linked to bipolar disorder (BD) lend support to evolutionary/adaptive processes in the pathogenesis of this disorder. Following a genome-scale analysis of the entire protein coding genes annotated in the GeneCards database, we have recently reported that cytohesin-4 (CYTH4) contains the longest tetra-nucleotide short tandem repeat (STR) identified...
