Abstract
In this chapter, we will attempt to outline the current state of genetic knowledge for bipolar disorder and briefly summarize the main findings from genetic epidemiology studies. We then review the most recent original literature, based largely on genome-wide association study methods. We conclude with some ideas about future directions.Keywords
