Association of bipolar and substance use disorders in parents of adolescents with bipolar disorder
Abstract
Background We have previously shown that juvenile bipolar disorder (BPD) is a risk for substance use disorders (SUD). Here we examine the expression of both disorders in families of youth with BPD to evaluate the familial risk mechanism.Methods We studied 108 adolescent BPD probands with 187 parents (34 with SUD and 58 parents) and 96 control probands with 177 parents with structured interviews. We compared the prevalence of BPD and SUD with Cox proportional hazards models with time to onset of BPD or SUD as the dependent variable and proband diagnosis (Control, BPD, or BPD+SUD) as the independent variable.Results The parents of the proband youth with BPD (without SUD) and BPD+SUD were more likely to develop BPD than the parents of control subjects [omnibus test chi2=10.18, p=.006]; we found no differences between the two bipolar groups. Parents of proband youth with BPD and with BPD+SUD were more likely than relatives of control subjects to develop SUD [omnibus test chi2=14.69, p<.001]; however, we found no differences between the parents of the two proband bipolar groups. Within the parents of proband youth with BPD+SUD, we found higher risk of SUD in parents with BPD than in those without BPD [chi2=8.39, p=.004], although the frequency of BPD was low in this group of parents.Conclusions Bipolar disorder and SUD are prevalent in the first-degree relatives of adolescents with BPD. Adults with BPD were more likely to manifest SUD with preliminary evidence of BPD and SUD cosegregation.

There is a significant genetic overlap between people with addictive disorders and people with bipolar disorder.
“There is a significant genetic overlap between people with addictive disorders and people with BD as demonstrated both by family studies (16) and shared polymorphisms of candidate genes involved in monoamine transport or metabolism (17, 18).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
