RNA Biomarkers in Bipolar Disorder and Response to Mood Stabilizers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a severe chronic disorder that represents one of the main causes of disability among young people. To date, no reliable biomarkers are available to inform the diagnosis of BD or clinical response to pharmacological treatment. Studies focused on coding and noncoding transcripts may provide information complementary to genome-wide association studies, allowing to correlate the dynamic evolution of different types of RNAs based on specific cell types and developmental stage with disease development or clinical course. In this narrative review, we summarize findings from human studies that evaluated the potential utility of messenger RNAs and noncoding transcripts, such as microRNAs, circular RNAs and long noncoding RNAs, as peripheral markers of BD and/or response to lithium and other mood stabilizers. The majority of available studies investigated specific targets or pathways, with large heterogeneity in the included type of cells or biofluids. However, a growing number of studies are using hypothesis-free designs, with some studies also integrating data on coding and noncoding RNAs measured in the same participants. Finally, studies conducted in neurons derived from induced-pluripotent stem cells or in brain organoids provide promising preliminary findings supporting the power and utility of these cellular models to investigate the molecular determinants of BD and clinical response.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
