Did you know it takes an average of 8 years to diagnose #BipolarDisorder? Newly published research from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium ( https://t.co/h5s7SDta8X) aims to improve this by learning more about the condition’s biology. Now in Nature:
nature.com
Nature - Using multi-ancestry genome-wide association study and fine-mapping, 298 loci and 36 credible genes are identified in the aetiology of bipolar disorder.
