Rs4713902

rs4713902, a SNP in the FKBP5 gene, is associated with increased risk for bipolar disorder in a study of 500+ Caucasian patients.

The most common allele, rs4713902(T), was associated with highest risk. Giving that allele a relative odds ratio of 1.0, the odds for the (C;T) and (C;C) genotypes were 0.69x (CI:0.55-0.88, p=0.001) and 0.47 (CI: 0.30-0.74, p=0.001).
