Notes

Replication Study and Meta-Analysis in European Samples Supports Association of the 3p21.1 Locus with Bipolar Disorder.

C;T

The C-allele of rs2251219 was significantly under-represented in bipolar disorder cases compared to controls (p=0.002, OR = 0.57; Table 2), replicating our main meta-analysis result.
