摘要
Up to half of parous females with bipolar disorder (manic depression) develop an episode of severe psychiatric disturbance, usually called puerperal psychosis, within a few days of giving birth. We report significant evidence (p<0.003) that variation at the serotonin transporter gene exerts a substantial (odds ratio=4) and important. (population attributable fraction=69%) influence on susceptibility to such episodes.
