Abstract

We carried out an association study between GNB1L and three mental disorders (major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia) in Chinese Han population. Among 1135 cases and 1135 controls, findings suggests that GNB1L is linked with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and not with major depressive disorder.
