Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE5388: Adult postmortem brain tissue (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) in subjects with bipolar disorder; GSE5389: Adult postmortem brain tissue (ortibtofrontal cortex) in subjects with bipolar disorder; Bipolar affective disorder is a severe psychiatric disorder with a strong genetic component but unknown pathophysiology. We used microarray technology (Affymetrix HG-U133A GeneChips) to determine the expression of approximately 22 000 mRNA transcripts in post-mortem brain tissue (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and orbitofrontal cortex) from patients with bipolar disorder and matched healthy controls. Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series
Project description:Bipolar affective disorder is a severe psychiatric disorder with a strong genetic component but unknown pathophysiology. We used microarray technology (Affymetrix HG-U133A GeneChips) to determine the expression of approximately 22 000 mRNA transcripts in post-mortem brain tissue (orbitofrontal cortex) from patients with bipolar disorder and matched healthy controls. Orbitofrontal cortex tissue from a cohort of 30 subjects was investigated and the final analysis included 10 bipolar and 11 control subjects. Differences between disease and control groups were identified using a rigorous statistical analysis with correction for confounding variables and multiple testing.

A cohort of 70 subjects was investigated and the final analysis included 30 bipolar and 31 control subjects. Differences between disease and control groups were identified using a rigorous statistical analysis with correction for confounding variables and multiple testing.

Project description:Analysis of gene-expression changes in depressed subjects with bipolar disorder compared to healthy controls. Results provide information on pathways that may be involved in the pathogenesis of bipolar depression. Total RNA isolated from PAXgene blood RNA tubes from 20 depressed subjects with bipolar disorder and 15 healthy controls.
