And these two genes, ANK3 and CACNA1C, are now the subject of much study as scientist rush to develop cures and treatments for bipolar disease based on these new facts.
The question in most researchers mind is, can these genes be turned off? And studies are also under way to determine exactly this fact. It they can be turned off, we will be able to prevent someone from ever getting the disease. But don't expect cures to appear in the next one or two years. Scientist have just begun to crack the code. But when they do, the many thousands of children suffering from this disease will be able to begin life anew.
