Study Links PBX1 Expression to Bipolar Disorder Genetics

4/11/2026

Summary

Story summary

The study analyzes PBX1 expression in excitatory neurons relative to the rs4442348 genotype using 983 samples.
It uses linear regression models and box plots to illustrate the association.
It also fine-maps the NUF2 locus by integrating GWAS data and expression quantitative trait loci results, identifying SNPs and their linkage disequilibrium with lead GWAS SNPs.
The findings advance understanding of genetic factors in bipolar disorder (BPD) and neuronal function.
