Effect
Strength
CLOCKCore clock geneClockΔ19, SNPs (rs1801260C)Simulated several core characteristics of BDHighly correlated
BMAL1SNPs, hypermethylationIncreased the susceptibility of BD and participated in shaping its clinical phenotypeHighly correlated
PER2SNPs (rs2304672G)Significantly increased the risk of BDSignificant correlation
PER3 VNTR5/5 repeat genotypeReduced the risk of BDSignificant correlation
CRY1R263Q mutation, risk alleleCaused abnormal circadian rhythm pattern and affected BDSignificant correlation
REV-ERBαDownregulated expressionInduced extensive apoptosis of NPC in patients with BDSignificant correlation
AKAP11Other genesHeterozygous mutationSignificantly increased the risk of BDCorrelation
