The study was supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG, grant FOR2107, RI908/11-1 to MR, SCHR1136/3-1 to GS, and NO246/10-1 to MMN). MG-S received the grant no. 89/2012 from UEFISCDI, Romania. Canadian patients were genotyped within the ConLiGen project (www. ConLiGen.org), with the support of a grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft to MR, MB and TGS (RI 908/7-1). Controls for Germany II were drawn from the Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study (HNR) cohort, which was established with the support of the Heinz Nixdorf Foundation. Recruitment of the Australian sample was supported by an Australian NHMRC program grant (number 1037196). The recruitment of the Canadian patients was supported by a grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research #64410 to MA. The study also used data generated by the GABRIEL consortium (controls for the sample Russia).

Canadian controls were drawn from the French Canadian study (SLSJ), which was supported in part by the Canada Research Chair Environment and genetics of respiratory diseases and allergy, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (Operating grant No. MOP-13506) and the Quebec Respiratory Network of the Fonds de recherche en Santé du Québec (FRQS). Polish controls were recruited by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)/Centre National de Genotypage (CNG) GWAS Initiative.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a severe and highly heritable neuropsychiatric disorder with a lifetime prevalence of 1%. Molecular genetic studies have identified the first BD susceptibility genes. However, the disease pathways remain largely unknown. Accumulating evidence suggests that microRNAs, a class of small noncoding RNAs, contribute to basic mechanisms underlying brain development and plasticity, suggesting their possible involvement in the pathogenesis of several psychiatric disorders, including BD. In the present study, gene-based analyses were performed for all known autosomal microRNAs using the largest genome-wide association data set of BD to date (9747 patients and 14 278 controls). Associated and brain-expressed microRNAs were then investigated in target gene and pathway analyses. Functional analyses of miR-499 and miR-708 were performed in rat hippocampal neurons. Ninety-eight of the six hundred nine investigated microRNAs showed nominally significant P-values, suggesting that BD-associated microRNAs might be enriched within known microRNA loci. After correction for multiple testing, nine microRNAs showed a significant association with BD. The most promising were miR-499, miR-708 and miR-1908. Target gene and pathway analyses revealed 18 significant canonical pathways, including brain development and neuron projection. For miR-499, four Bonferroni-corrected significant target genes were identified, including the genome-wide risk gene for psychiatric disorder CACNB2. First results of functional analyses in rat hippocampal neurons neither revealed nor excluded a major contribution of miR-499 or miR-708 to dendritic spine morphogenesis. The present results suggest that research is warranted to elucidate the precise involvement of microRNAs and their downstream pathways in BD.
