Abstract

The growing number of reports on candidate genes an genomic regions of interest in bipolar disorder reveals a tremendously active field of study. As with other complex psychiatric syndromes, these early findings will require a great deal of effort to replicate and clarify. This review serves both as an update and an introduction to some of the issues confronting investigators. Potential strategies in study design, population selection, and molecular methods are explored as well.
