Brain 5-HT1A binding potential (BP(F) = B(max)/K(D), where B(max) = total available receptors, and 1/K(D) = ligand affinity) was measured in 32 currently depressed, medication-free BD subjects and 47 controls.

Disrupted in Schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) is a key susceptibility gene implicated in major mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder and autism, but the link between this protein and the pathology of these diseases remains unclear.
A search strategy was developed using the terms: "Bipolar disorder" or "Bipolar mania" or "Bipolar depression" or "Bipolar mixed" or "Bipolar euthymic" and "Celecoxib" or "Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors" or "Cox-2 inhibitors" as text words and Medical Subject Headings (i.e., MeSH and EMTREE) and searched.
Although no concrete biomarker has been identified for bone disorders in adulthood, reduced brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentrations in cord blood and BDNF DNA methylation might predict schizophrenia and possibly depression, bipolar disorder and autism.
Catechol o-methyltransferase, serotonin transporter, and tryptophan hydroxylase gene polymorphisms in bipolar disorder patients with and without comorbid panic disorder.
