Epigenetics of Bipolar disorder
T. Kato

Previous association studies:
Ferreira et al Nat Genet 2008
PBRM1 Nat Genet 2010
GAD1
GABA A R alpha 1
COX10
RELN

MZ discordance for bipolar disorder:
1. Point mustation
2. CNV
3. mosaicism
.
.
.

Methods - unbiased approach RED, RAPD, RDA, MS-RDA
Two pairs MZ twins discordant for bipolar disorder
488K CNV
MBD2B MBD3L1 conjugated beads Active Motif
Tiling arrays

Promoter wide DNA methylation analysis p<10^-4 by MAT
Bisulfite sequencing of 13 regions overlapping with CpG island to validate; refined p<10^-6 
HTTLPR DMR upstream 25,590,000(?correct location -- nocx not sure about this position) -- seen in ss genotype only
