Serological Markers in Unipolar and Bipolar Affective Disorders

Abstract

ABO blood groups and haptoglobin types have been studied with special reference to their association with unipolar and bipolar affective disorders. The associations of serogenetic markers show statistically significant differences between unipolars and controls, bipolars and controls, and unipolars and bipolars. The results are largely in agreement with those reported in previous studies.
