Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies on bipolar disorders (BD) have revealed an additive polygenic contribution of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However, these SNPs explain only 25% of the overall genetic variance and suggest a role of rare variants in BD vulnerability. Here, we combined high-throughput genotyping data and whole-exome sequencing in cohorts of individuals with BD as well as in...
