An NIMH-funded study, with cohorts spanning diverse ancestries, identifies new genes implicated in bipolar disorder and finds that different genes contribute to specific disorder subtypes.
The findings expand a historically Eurocentric genetic literature and edge closer to the kind of mechanistic understanding that could eventually inform personalized treatment.
