We also found the altered expressions of HSPF1 in LCLs from Caucasian patients with bipolar II disorder (P=0.011) and LIM in those from patients with schizophrenia (P = 0.001).

This study provides the first genomewide significant evidence implicating variants near the ADM gene on chromosome 11p15 in psychopathology, with effects that appear to be specific to bipolar II disorder.
We provide initial evidence that the BDNFVal66Met and DRD3 Ser9Gly genotypes interact only in bipolar-II disorder and that bipolar-I and bipolar-II may be genetically distinct.

Three affection status models (ASMs) were considered: ASM1 (BPI and schizoaffective disorder, BP cases (SABP) only), ASM2 (ASM1 cases plus BPII) and ASM3 (ASM2 cases plus recurrent major depression).
Logistic regression analysis showed a significant effect of the COMT and the BDNF polymorphisms, and a significant interaction effect for the Val/Val genotypes of the BDNFVal66Met polymorphism and the COMsT Val158Met Val/Met and Met/Met genotypes (P=0.007, 0.048) discriminated between BP-II without AD patients and controls.

Logistic regression analysis showed a significant interaction effect of the COMTVal158Met Val/Val genotype and the MTHFR C677T C/T + T/T genotype (P = 0.039) for the protective effect on the odds of developing BP-II.
