Abstract

We performed a genome-wide association study of 6447 bipolar disorder (BD) cases and 12 639 controls from the International Cohort Collection for Bipolar Disorder (ICCBD). Meta-analysis was performed with prior results from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium Bipolar Group for a combined sample of 13 902 cases and 19 279 controls. We identified eight genome-wide
significant, associated regions, including a novel associated region on chromosome 10 (rs10884920; P = 3.28 × 10 − 8) that includes the brain-enriched cytoskeleton protein adducin 3 (ADD3), a non-coding RNA, and a neuropeptide-specific aminopeptidase P
(XPNPEP1). Our large sample size allowed us to test the heritability and genetic correlation of BD subtypes and investigate their genetic overlap with schizophrenia (SCZ) and major depressive disorder. We found a significant difference in heritability of the two
most common forms of BD (BD I h2 = 0.35; BD II h2 = 0.25; P = 0.02) with a genetic correlation between BD I and BD II of 0.78,compared with a genetic correlation of 0.97 when BD cohorts containing both types were compared. In addition, we demonstrated a significantly greater load of polygenic risk alleles for SCZ and BD in patients with BD I compared with patients with BD II, and a
greater load of SCZ risk alleles in the bipolar type of schizoaffective disorder (SAB) compared with both other BD subtypes. These results point to a partial difference in genetic architecture of BD subtypes, and are suggestive of a molecular correlate for the
clinical division of BD into subtypes.
