Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: rs12576775 was found to be associated with bipolar disorder (BD) in a genome-wide association study (GWAS). The GWAS signal implicates genes for the microRNAs miR-708 and miR-5579 and the first exon of the Odd Oz/ten-m homolog 4 gene (ODZ4). In the present study, miR-708, its surrounding region, and its targets were analyzed for potential BD-associated functional variants. METHODS: The miR-708 gene and...
