Bipolar disorder and body clocks

People with bipolar disorder often experience trouble with their body clocks and this is particularly true for children. Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine compared 152 children with bipolar disorder to 140 without. They found that the children with bipolar disorder were more likely to have a variation in a gene called RORB which plays a part in governing the body clock.
