dc.description.abstractObjectiveBipolar I disorder is a highly heritable disorder but not all siblings manifest with the illness, even though they may share similar genetic and environmental risk factors. Thus, sibling studies may help to identify brain structural endophenotypes associated with risk and resistance for the disorder. MethodsStructural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were acquired for 28 euthymic patients with bipolar disorder, their healthy siblings, and 30 unrelated healthy controls. Statistical Parametric Mapping 8 (SPM8) was used to identify group differences in regional gray matter volume by voxel-based morphometry (VBM). ResultsUsing analysis of covariance, gray matter analysis of the groups revealed a group effect indicating that the left orbitofrontal cortex [Brodmann area (BA) 11] was smaller in patients with bipolar disorder than in unrelated healthy controls [F=14.83, p<0.05 (family-wise error); 7mm(3)]. Paired t-tests indicated that the orbitofrontal cortex of patients with bipolar disorder [t=5.19, p<0.05 (family-wise error); 37mm(3)] and their healthy siblings [t=3.89, p<0.001 (uncorrected); 63mm(3)] was smaller than in unrelated healthy controls, and that the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex was larger in healthy siblings than in patients with bipolar disorder [t=4.28, p<0.001 (uncorrected); 323mm(3)] and unrelated healthy controls [t=4.36, p<0.001 (uncorrected); 245mm(3)]. Additional region-of-interest analyses also found volume deficits in the right cerebellum of patients with bipolar disorder [t=3.92, p<0.001 (uncorrected); 178mm(3)] and their healthy siblings [t=4.23, p<0.001 (uncorrected); 489mm(3)], and in the left precentral gyrus of patients with bipolar disorder [t=3.61, p<0.001 (uncorrected); 115mm(3)] compared to unrelated healthy controls. ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that a reduction in the volume of the orbitofrontal cortex, which plays a role in the automatic regulation of emotions and is a part of the medial prefrontal network, is associated with the heritability of bipolar disorder. Conversely, increased dorsolateral prefrontal cortex volume may be a neural marker of a resistance factor as it is part of a network of voluntary emotion regulation and balances the effects of the disrupted automatic emotion regulation system.en_US
