A Multilevel Functional Study of aSNAP25At-Risk Variant for Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia
2017
The synaptosomal-associated protein SNAP25 is a key player in synaptic vesicle docking and fusion and has been associated with multiple psychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. We recently identified a promoter variant inSNAP25,rs6039769, that is associated with early-onset bipolar disorder and a higher gene expression level in human prefrontal cortex. In the current study, we showed that this variant was associated both in males and females with schizophrenia in two independent cohorts. We then combinedin vitroandin vivoapproaches in humans to understand the functional impact of the at-risk allele. Thus, we showedin vi…
Impaired anatomical connectivity and related executive functions: differentiating vulnerability and disease marker in bipolar disorder.
2012
Background Bipolar 1 disorder (BD1) has been associated with impaired set shifting, increased risk taking, and impaired integrity of frontolimbic white matter. However, it remains unknown to what extent these findings are related to each other and whether these abnormalities represent risk factors or consequences of the illness. Methods We addressed the first question by comparing 19 patients with BD1 and 19 healthy control subjects (sample 1) with diffusion tensor imaging, the Intra-Extra Dimensional Set Shift Task, and the Cambridge Gambling Task. The second question we approached by applying the same protocol to 22 healthy first-degree relatives of patients with BD1 and 22 persons withou…
Corpus callosum area in patients with bipolar disorder with and without psychotic features: an international multicentre study
2015
Background Previous studies have reported MRI abnormalities of the corpus callosum (CC) in patients with bipolar disorder (BD), although only a few studies have directly compared callosal areas in psychotic versus nonpsychotic patients with this disorder. We sought to compare regional callosal areas in a large international multicentre sample of patients with BD and healthy controls. Methods We analyzed anatomic T-1 MRI data of patients with BD-I and healthy controls recruited from 4 sites (France, Germany, Ireland and the United States). We obtained the mid-sagittal areas of 7 CC subregions using an automatic CC delineation. Differences in regional callosal areas between patients and contr…
Dysfunctional decision-making related to white matter alterations in bipolar I disorder.
2015
Abstract Objective This study investigated how frontal white matter (WM) alterations in patients with bipolar I disorder (BD-I) are linked to motivational dysregulation, often reported in the form of risk-taking and impulsivity, and whether structure–function relations in patients might differ from healthy subjects (HC). Method We acquired diffusion data from 24 euthymic BD-I patients and 24 controls, to evaluate WM integrity of selected frontal tracts. Risk-taking was assessed by the Cambridge Gambling Task and impulsivity by self-report with the Barratt-Impulsiveness Scale. Results BD-I patients displayed significantly lower integrity in the right cingulum compared to HC. They also showed…
Aberrant Subnetwork and Hub Dysconnectivity in Adult Bipolar Disorder: A Multicenter Graph Theory Analysis
2021
Abstract Neuroimaging evidence implicates structural network-level abnormalities in bipolar disorder (BD); however, there remain conflicting results in the current literature hampered by sample size limitations and clinical heterogeneity. Here, we set out to perform a multisite graph theory analysis to assess the extent of neuroanatomical dysconnectivity in a large representative study of individuals with BD. This cross-sectional multicenter international study assessed structural and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging data obtained from 109 subjects with BD type 1 and 103 psychiatrically healthy volunteers. Whole-brain metrics, permutation-based statistics, and connectivity of h…
Shape analysis of the cingulum, uncinate and arcuate fasciculi in patients with bipolar disorder
2016
Background: Abnormal maturation of brain connectivity is supposed to underlie the dysfunctional emotion regulation in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). To test this hypothesis, white matter integrity is usually investigated using measures of water diffusivity provided by MRI. Here we consider a more intuitive aspect of the morphometry of the white matter tracts: the shape of the fibre bundles, which is associated with neurodevelopment. We analyzed the shape of 3 tracts involved in BD: the cingulum (CG), uncinate fasciculus (UF) and arcuate fasciculus (AF). Methods: We analyzed diffusion MRI data in patients with BD and healthy controls. The fibre bundles were reconstructed using Q-ball–b…
A MULTI-LEVEL FUNCTIONAL STUDY OF A SNAP25 AT-RISK VARIANT FOR BIPOLAR DISORDER AND SCHIZOPHRENIA
2019
Background The synaptosomal associated protein SNAP25 is crucial for synaptic vesicle docking and fusion and has been associated with multiple psychiatric conditions. We recently identified a promoter variant in SNAP25, rs6039769, associated with bipolar disorder and gene expression in prefrontal cortex. Methods Here, we performed a genetic association study using this variation on two independent cohorts of 288 and 173 subjects with schizophrenia and 315 unaffected control individuals. We replicated our results using data from the schizophrenia group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC). Functional consequences combined both in vitro and post-mortem gene expression analysis on 30 p…
