Abstract

We found the main effects of harm avoidance temperament in predicting bipolar I and II, but the interaction between novelty seeking and Ser9Gly polymorphisms of dopamine D3 receptor gene was demonstrated in bipolar-I patients only. This study provided evidence that differences existed between BP-I and BPII in gene and temperament interactions.
