Open AccessBipolar patients display stoichiometric imbalance of gene expression in post-mortem brain samples
Bipolar disorder is a severe neuro-psychiatric condition where genome-wide association and sequencing studies have pointed to dysregulated gene expression as likely to be causal. We observed strong correlation...

Open AccessMap** the expression of an ANK3 isoform associated with bipolar disorder in the human brain
The gene ankyrin-3 (ANK3) has been consistently associated with bipolar disorder (BD) in several genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The exact molecular mechanisms underlying this genetic association remain u...

Open AccessExploring lithium’s transcriptional mechanisms of action in bipolar disorder: a multi-step study
Lithium has been the first-line treatment for bipolar disorder (BD) for more than six decades. Although the molecular effects of lithium have been studied extensively and gene expression changes are generally ...

Open AccessElevated expression of a minor isoform of ANK3 is a risk factor for bipolar disorder
Ankyrin-3 (ANK3) is one of the few genes that have been consistently identified as associated with bipolar disorder by multiple genome-wide association studies. However, the exact molecular basis of the associati...

Open AccessHaploinsufficiency of two histone modifier genes on 6p22.3, ATXN1 and JARID2, is associated with intellectual disability
Nineteen patients with deletions in chromosome 6p22-p24 have been published so far. The syndromic phenotype is varied, and includes intellectual disability, behavioural abnormalities, dysmorphic features and s...
