      Ankyrin-3 (ANK3) is one of the few genes that have been consistently identified as associated with bipolar disorder by multiple genome-wide association studies. However, the exact molecular basis of the association remains ...
    • Exploring lithium's transcriptional mechanisms of action in bipolar disorder: a multi-step study 

      Akkouh, Ibrahim; Skrede, Silje; Holmgren, Asbjørn; Ersland, Kari Merete; Hansson, Lars Johan Axel; Bahrami, Shahram; Andreassen, Ole Andreas; Steen, Vidar Martin; Djurovic, Srdjan; Hughes, Timothy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Lithium has been the first-line treatment for bipolar disorder (BD) for more than six decades. Although the molecular effects of lithium have been studied extensively and gene expression changes are generally believed to ...
    • Mapping the expression of an ANK3 isoform associated with bipolar disorder in the human brain 

      Holmgren, Asbjørn; Hansson, Lars; Bjerkaas-Kjeldal, Kristine; Impellizzeri, Agata Antonia Rita; Gilfillan, Gregor; Djurovic, Srdjan; Hughes, Timothy (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The gene ankyrin-3 (ANK3) has been consistently associated with bipolar disorder (BD) in several genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The exact molecular mechanisms underlying this genetic association remain unknown. ...
    • Spastic paraplegia type 7 is associated with multiple mitochondrial DNA deletions
