- OBJECTIVES: Bipolar disorder (BPD) shares genetic components with other psychiatric disorders; however, uncertainty remains about where in the psychiatric spectra BPD falls. To understand the etiology of BPD, we studied the familial aggregation of BPD and co-aggregation between BPD and schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, drug abuse, personality disorders, and autism spectrum disorders.METHODS: A population-based cohort was created by linking several Swedish national registers. A total of 54,723 individuals with BPD were identified among 8,141,033 offspring from 4,149,748 nuclear families. The relative risk of BPD in relatives and the co-occurrence of other psychiatric disorders in patients with BPD and their relatives were compared to those of matched-population controls. Structural equation modeling was used to estimate the heritability and tetrachoric correlation.RESULTS: The familial risks for relatives of BPD probands were 5.8-7.9 in first-degree relatives, and decreased with genetic distance. Co-occurrence risks for other psychiatric disorders were 9.7-22.9 in individuals with BPD and 1.7-2.8 in full siblings of BPD probands. Heritability for BPD was estimated at 58%. The correlations between BPD and other psychiatric disorders were considerable (0.37-0.62) and primarily due to genetic effects. The correlation with depression was the highest (0.62), and was 0.44 for schizophrenia.CONCLUSIONS: The high familial risks provide evidence that genetic factors play an important role in the etiology of BPD, and the shared genetic determinants suggest pleiotropic effects across different psychiatric disorders. Results also indicate that BPD is in both the mood and psychotic spectra, but possibly more closely related to mood disorders.

- Several genetic loci have been suggested to be associated with bipolar disorder but results have been inconsistent. Studying associations between bipolar symptoms and candidate genes may better expose this relationship. Here we investigate the association between bipolar key symptoms and the P2RX7 gene.

- BackgroundClinical guidelines recommend monitoring of creatinine and lithium throughout treatment with lithium. We here assessed the extent to which this occurs in healthcare in Sweden. MethodsThis is an observational study of all adults with bipolar disorder starting lithium therapy in Stockholm, Sweden, during 2007-2018. The main outcome was monitoring of blood lithium and creatinine at therapy initiation and/or once annually. The secondary outcome was monitoring of calcium and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Patients were followed up until therapy cessation, death, out-migration, or to the end of 2018. ResultsWe identified 4428 adults with bipolar disorder who started lithium therapy and were followed up for up to 11 years. Their median age was 39 years, and 63% were women. The median duration on lithium therapy was 4.3 (IQR: 1.9-7.45) years, and the majority who discontinued therapy started another mood stabilizer soon after. Overall, 21% started lithium therapy without assessing the serum/plasma concentration of creatinine. The proportion of people who did not have both lithium and creatinine measured increased from 21% in the first year to 33% in the eleventh year. The proportion with annual testing for TSH or calcium was slightly lower. As few as 16% of patients had both lithium and creatinine tested once annually during their complete time on lithium. ConclusionsIn a Swedish community sample, lithium and creatinine monitoring was inconsistent with guideline recommendations that call for measurement of annual biomarker levels.
