Rare coding variation implicates thirteen genes in bipolar disorder across 232,536 individuals from global populations
Bipolar disorder (BD) is highly heritable, yet the contribution of rare coding variation remains incompletely characterized. We analyzed sequencing data from 64,435 individuals with BD and 168,101 con...
