KEGG pathway analysis of over 400 Bipolar disorder susceptibility genes

These pathways, etched out by hundreds of genes, pre and post GWAS,  include many brain related pathways, but also many related to the immune system and pathogen entry pathways. Pathogen risk factors are referenced here Bipolar disorder risk factors This trilogy appears to be a common theme in these polygenic diseases and the genes are implicated in brain and neurotransmitter pathology but also in the the life cycles of the pathogens implicated as risk factors.
