Detection of expanded CAG repeats in Bipolar Affective Disorder using the repeat expansion detection (RED) method

Detection of expanded CAG repeats in Bipolar Affective Disorder using the repeat expansion detection (RED) method

Genetic factors are of major aetiological importance in Bipolar Affective Disorder (BPAD type I and II). The exact mode of inheritance of BPAD is unknown, but the recent demonstration of anticipation suggests that dynamic mutations could be involved in the clinical expression of the disease.We have...
