Genome-wide association study of irritable vs. elated mania suggests genetic differences between clinical subtypes of bipolar disorder.

The use of clinical features to define subtypes of a disorder may aid in gene identification for complex diseases. In particular, clinical subtypes of mania may distinguish phenotypic subgroups of bipolar subjects that may also differ genetically. To assess this possibility, we performed a genome-wi...
