Abstract excerpt
AIM: We previously performed the first trio-based exome study for bipolar disorder and identified 71 de novo mutations. Among these mutations, the only mutation located at the splice donor site was in UNC13B. We focused on and analyzed the functions of the mutation. METHODS: In order to analyze the functional alterations, due to the mutation, we performed a minigene splicing assay. KEY RESULTS: We found that the...
