Two genes that influence the activity of nerve cells in the brain play an important role in the development of bipolar disorder, the play manifests through severe depression to insanity say scientists. The figures do not refer to a genetic test result to identify the risk of the disease, experts say, but they can help to find the reason why it is to find a bipolar disorder, and effective treatments. The study appears in the journal Nature Genetics. Bipolar disorder (formerly - manic-depressive illness) - a mental disorder manifested affective states - manic (hypomanic) and depressive and mixed states in which the patient (symptoms of depression and mania at the same time, for example, depression with agitation, anxiety , with inhibition or euphoria -. called unproductive mania) or rapid change in symptoms (hypo) mania and (sub) depression A team of international scientists to explore gene 10,596 people from the UK and the USA, 4387, one of whom had bipolar disorder. The researchers found that people were seen with bipolar disorder and the presence of genes ANK3 CACNA1C. Proteins that control with the participation of these two genes, which are generated by the flow of sodium and calcium in the nerve cells of the brain, which. To the activity of nerve cells According to Nick Craddock of the British University, is the crucial point that the results of the study make it clear what substances involved and mechanisms in the development of bipolar disorder. It is possible to treat a better way, experts say.
