A Genetic Family Cohort Study of Bipolar Disorder in Chinese Han Population

Study Description
Brief Summary:
This study intends to find out the pathogenic genes of bipolar disorder by collecting the two-phase family of Chinese Han population with the large sample using a family cohort study design, combined with the new generation of high-throughput sequencing technology and Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), Proteomics, bioinformatics analysis, etc., which is expected to be clarified at the genetic level. The pathogenesis of bipolar disorder. At the same time, the investigators will conduct a five-year follow-up of cognitive function, brain function imaging and other major clinical symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder in the core family, and to explore familial bipolar disorder and sporadic biphasic. Differences in the clinical features of the disorder, in order to explore sensitive and specific biomarkers from a multidimensional perspective (cognitive function, brain imaging, genetic features, clinical features, etc.), which may contribute to bipolar disorder in the future. Accurate diagnosis and early identification and prevention have important scientific significance and clinical diagnosis and treatment significance.

Condition or disease
Bipolar Disorder

Detailed Description:

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a serious, complex, family-grafting mental illness. Studies have shown that genetic factors may be the dominant factor in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder, thus, it is worth looking forward to getting started and clarifying the etiology of bipolar disorder from a genetic perspective. However, earlier genetic studies such as linkage analysis, genetic mutation detection (preferred candidate genes), and recent genetic studies (no need to presuppose candidate genes) such as Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), whole genome GWAS and Whole-exome sequencing (WES) failed to identify any biogenic disorder gene or chromosomal region that plays a major role in, which may be related to the synergy of population heterogeneity, insufficient sample size or coordination effect caused by common mutations.

As a familial, highly heritable psychiatric disease, the literature suggests that the pathogenic genes of bipolar disorder may be directly derived from the intergenerational transmission of rare mutations in family members, and these rare variants are more likely to be predicated from the family. It has been found that the family has a higher frequency and is more susceptible to detecting susceptibility genes for bipolar disorder. Therefore, the family research design combined with WGS, GWAS and other advanced genetic research methods can reduce the unnecessary sample size, eliminate the confounding factors of the population, and more easily capture the potential genes of bipolar disorder.

However, at present, there are few reports of foreign bipolar disorder family and the results are not consistent. There is no research report on the large sample family of Chinese Han population in China. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the family sample size and combine with new genetic research methods in the Han population. explore. Therefore, this study intends to find out the pathogenic genes of bipolar disorder by collecting the two-phase family of Chinese Han population with the large sample using a family cohort study design, combined with the new generation of high-throughput sequencing technology and GWAS, Proteomics, bioinformatics analysis, etc., which is expected to be clarified at the genetic level. The pathogenesis of bipolar disorder. At the same time, the investigators will conduct a five-year follow-up of cognitive function, brain function imaging and other major clinical symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder in the core family, and to explore familial bipolar disorder and sporadic biphasic. Differences in the clinical features of the disorder, in order to explore sensitive and specific biomarkers from a multidimensional perspective (cognitive function, brain imaging, genetic features, clinical features, etc.), which may contribute to bipolar disorder in the future. Accurate diagnosis and early identification and prevention have important scientific significance and clinical diagnosis and treatment significance.

Estimated Study Completion Date : December 31, 2022
Arms and Interventions
Group/Cohort
bipolar disorder family
Screening priori BD-I/BD-II patients, their relatives with mental illness (including but not limited to BD) and their healthy families.
health control
Group-matched non-psychiatric family history health subjects were enrolled, DSM-IV-TR is used for demographic assessment.
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Potential risk genes [ Time Frame: at december 2022 ]
    The investigators will collect peripheral blood samples of patients and healthy controls during the baseline period, and blood samples from family members during follow-up period. The blood will be used for WGS, GWAS, WES to get candidate genes. Reported high risk genes such as CACNA1C、DTNA、FOXP1 and so on are the focus.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. HAMD-17 scores of patients and high-risk subjects [ Time Frame: by december 2022 ]
    Hamilton depression scale is used to assess subjects at the baseline and every follow-up point(health controls are assessed only at baseline). HAMD is the most commonly used scale for clinically assessed depression. Total score < 7 points means normal; total scores in 7~17 points indicates that there may be depression; total scores in 17~24 points shows that there must be depression; total score >24 points means major depression.

  2. Onset age of BD subjects [ Time Frame: by december 2022 ]
    Data of onset age will be record since the subjects join this peoject, and the invetigators will continue recording especially at each follow-up point.

  3. Wisconsin Card Sorting Test results [ Time Frame: by december 2022 ]
    The family members will be tested at baseline and 5 follow-up periods, totally 6 times. The healthy control will be tested once at baseline. Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) reflects congnitive function, which includes 13 indexes. Higher scores indicate better congnition.

  4. Characteristic changes of electroencephalogram [ Time Frame: by december 2022 ]
    In this study the investigators use EEG equipment from BrainProducts of Germany. The sampling frequency is 1000hz. Detection items include gamma resonance, mismatched negative wave MMN, auditory event related potential P300, visual event related potential P300, and resting EEG. Family members were tested for the baseline period and subsequent annual follow-up period, a total of 6 times. Healthy controls test once at the baseline period.

  5. YMRS scores of patients and high-risk subjects [ Time Frame: by december 2022 ]
    Young's Mania Rating Scale is used to assess subjects at the baseline and every follow-up point(health controls are assessed only at baseline). It is mainly used to assess the symptoms and severity of mania, which includes 11 items. Total scores range from 0 to 60, higher scores means the symptoms are more severe.

  6. Course of disease of BD subjects [ Time Frame: by december 2022 ]
    Disease course will be record since the subjects join this peoject, and until the end of this study.

  7. Treatment plan of BD subjects [ Time Frame: by december 2022 ]
    Treatment of BD patients will be record since the subjects join this peoject, and the invetigators will continue recording especially at each follow-up point.

  8. STROOP test results [ Time Frame: by december 2022 ]
    The family members will be tested at baseline and 5 follow-up periods, totally 6 times. The healthy control will be tested once at baseline. STROOP test is a Cognitive psychology test, which is also called color word conflict test. In the randomly appearing text combinations, subjects are supposed to quickly read out names of colors according to the color of the text, and then the reading time is compared in this study.

  9. Repetitive Neuropsychological Status test (RBANS) results [ Time Frame: by december 2022 ]
    The family members will be tested at baseline and 5 follow-up periods, totally 6 times. The healthy control will be tested once at baseline. RBANS is a test for subjects' neuropsychological state. It has 12 tasks. The original score will be converted to a standard score with a total score of 100 points. Higher scores means better congnitive function.


Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA
Collect 5 ml of venous blood of subjects with empty stomach into the 2% EDTA anticoagulation tube from 7 am to 9 am, for subsequent extraction of whole blood DNA and determination of plasma protein; simultaneously collect 2 ml of venous blood into PAXgene Blood RNA Tube and gently invert 10 times, placed vertically for subsequent extraction of whole blood RNA.
