Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bipolar disorder (BD) studies consistently implicate the ventral prefrontal cortex (VPFC) in association with suicidal behaviors. A suicidal behavior polygenic risk score (PRS) can now be computed to test whether elevated genetic risk for suicidal behavior is associated with variation in VPFC gray matter and/or suicidal behavior history. METHODS: We explored relationships among a PRS previously...
