Genetic Studies in Bipolar Disorder
Prechter Bipolar Genetics Repository
Principal Investigator: Melvin G. McInnis, MD
To provide significant resources to the Bipolar Disorder research community. Information will be stored at the University of Michigan, along with independently approved collaborating sites that include: Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University, and Cornell University.
Investigators from the various research teams are working on specific studies to collect clinical information on 1000 Bipolar individuals and on 1000 control participants. They are also collecting biological information through blood samples and extraction of genetic material from the participants.
The Prechter Bipolar Genetics Repository at the University of Michigan will house these data and, upon request, will distribute these valuable resources to investigators within the Bipolar Research Community.
