Genetic study of bipolar disorders

Bipolar disorder is a common condition, occurring in one to four percent of the population. It runs in families and this study is aimed at finding out the specific genes that make people prone to developing bipolar disorder.

We are looking for families:

• that include at least two people who have bipolar disorder (at least one who is diagnosed with bipolar I)
• that have the illness in at least two generations
• that have inherited the condition from only one side of the family.
