Figure 1
(a) The pedigree was ascertained in Spain, and has a high prevalence of mood disorders, particularly bipolar disorder (type 1) and recurrent major depressive disorder. (b) Summary of experimental flowchart and results. IBD=identity-by-descent, SNV=single nucleotide variant, CNV=copy number variation. (c) Risk profile scores in GAIN BIP cases, GAIN controls, and 11 BIP cases from the pedigree in Figure 1a. Profile scores were based on the PGC BIP mega-analysis.
