Progranulin gene variability influences the risk for bipolar I disorder, but not bipolar II disorder

摘要

ObjectiveRecent data have shown that genetic variability in the progranulin (GRN) gene may contribute to the susceptibility to developing bipolar disorder (BD). However, in regard to patients with BD, no information is available on the role of genetic variability and plasma progranulin levels in different types of this disorder.
