The likelihood of developing bipolar disorder depends in part on the combined, small effects of variations in many different genes in the brain, none of which is powerful enough to cause the disease by itself, a new study shows.
Study sheds light on link between gene readouts, mental disorders ANI | Updated: Feb 13, 2021 19:49 IST
Washington [US], February 13 (ANI): A new study suggested that the distinctions in the expression of gene transcripts that construct the cells of the human body might prove helpful in understanding how mental issues with shared hereditary danger factors bring about various examples of onset, symptoms, side effects, course of ailment, and treatment reactions.
Findings from the study, conducted by researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), part of the National Institutes of Health, appeared in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology. Major mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder, share common genetic roots, but each disorder presents differently in each individual, said Francis J. McMahon, M.D., a senior author of the study and chief of the Human Genetics Branch, part of the
