Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the genetic and phenotypic traits associated with age at onset (AAO) and polarity at onset (PAO) in bipolar disorder to enhance understanding of the illness and develop screening tools.
  • Results indicate that an earlier AAO is linked to more severe symptoms, such as psychosis and suicidality, as well as variations in educational success and living situations.
  • The research reveals a significant relationship between higher polygenic risk scores for other mental disorders and earlier AAO, although no significant associations were found for PAO, highlighting considerable variability across different cohorts.

Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, with its impact on our way of life, is affecting our experiences and mental health. Notably, individuals with mental disorders have been reported to have a higher risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2. Personality traits could represent an important determinant of preventative health behaviour and, therefore, the risk of contracting the virus.

Background: Bipolar disorder is a highly heritable polygenic disorder. Recent enrichment analyses suggest that there may be true risk variants for bipolar disorder in the expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) in the brain.

Aims: We sought to assess the impact of eQTL variants on bipolar disorder risk by combining data from both bipolar disorder genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and brain eQTL.
