title: [An association study between GRIN1, BDNF genes and bipolar disorder].
abstract: To evaluate the role of inherited gene variations in GRIN1 (glutamate receptor, ionotropic NMDA1), BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor) genes in human bipolar disorder, we selected 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms in GRIN1, BDNF (2 SNPs in each gene) and made SNPs analysis in 100 unrelated cases and 100 controls by TaqMan. Then we compared genotypes differences between cases and controls. The software SHEsis was also used to make haplotype analysis. The significant results were obtained, showing that the SNPs in GRIN1 gene were related to the BP (P < 0.05). In addition, the combined haplotype T/G had a significant difference in the two groups (P < 0.05). The SNPs in BDNF gene showed no statistical significance. These results confirm that the GRIN1 gene confers susceptibility to bipolar disorder.
