Genetic testing can help doctors diagnose some neurological disorders, such as Huntington’s disease. It can also provide insights into a person’s risk of future health conditions. Genetic testing ...

A multi-ancestry genome-wide study of 158,036 people with bipolar disorder and 2,796,499 control individuals identified 298 genomic regions associated with the disease. Variations in 36 genes were ...

A team of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered compelling evidence of a genetic link between bipolar disorder type I (BD-I) and epilepsy, potentially revolutionizing our ...

Eating disorders (ED) such as anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge-eating disorder (BED), and other eating disorders (OED), are often chronic and debilitating disorders occurring in 5–10 ...

Bipolar disorder is a complex psychiatric disorder, characterized by fluctuations between episodes of (hypo)mania and depression. It is estimated to affect around 40 to 50 million people worldwide.

Genomic analysis of specific and shared causal variants between bipolar disorder I (BD-I) and epilepsy. (A) Venn plot shows the number of specific and shared causal variants between BD-I and epilepsy.

New research has identified small changes in the sequence of a gene, or variants in TMEM63B that can cause serious lung ...

For the first time, researchers at King's College London and the University of Florence have identified the specific genetic blueprint of mania, the defining feature of bipolar disorder. Bipolar ...

Researchers have uncovered shared genetic pathways that link multiple psychiatric disorders. These new findings have the potential to change the way psychiatric disorders are diagnosed and treated, ...

In a genetic association study, investigators integrated data from genome-wide association studies of various disorders with retinal transcriptomic data. Findings revealed that the polygenic risk of ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...
