A survey of genomic studies supports association of circadian clock genes with bipolar disorder spectrum illnesses and lithium response.

Circadian rhythm abnormalities in bipolar disorder (BD) have led to a search for genetic abnormalities in circadian "clock genes" associated with BD. However, no significant clock gene findings have emerged from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). At least three factors could account f...
