Brief description Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are two major psychiatric conditions affecting over 800,000 Australians. We have identified a new gene which contributes to increased risk to developing both bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. We will investigate the function of this gene in normal brain development, and how this function is disrupted in individuals with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Understanding the biological cause will help us define better treatments for these severe mental illnesses.
