Table 1 Effects of multiple genes on the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder
| Gene | Type | Variation | Effect | Strength |
| CLOCK | Core clock gene | ClockΔ19, SNPs (rs1801260C) | Simulated several core characteristics of BD | Highly correlated |
| BMAL1 | SNPs, hypermethylation | Increased the susceptibility of BD and participated in shaping its clinical phenotype | Highly correlated | |
| PER2 | SNPs (rs2304672G) | Significantly increased the risk of BD | Significant correlation | |
| PER3 VNTR | 5/5 repeat genotype | Reduced the risk of BD | Significant correlation | |
| CRY1 | R263Q mutation, risk allele | Caused abnormal circadian rhythm pattern and affected BD | Significant correlation | |
| REV-ERBα | Downregulated expression | Induced extensive apoptosis of NPC in patients with BD | Significant correlation | |
| AKAP11 | Other genes | Heterozygous mutation | Significantly increased the risk of BD | Correlation |
