Independent genome-wide association studies have implicated a common single nucleotide polymorphism within the ANK3 gene (rs10994336) in bipolar disorder (BD) susceptibility, thus establishing rs10994336 marker as a strong candidate predisposing genetic factor for BD. Furthermore, recent findings demonstrate that this variant impacts on cognitive functioning in BD patients, their unaffected relatives and healthy controls, by influencing sustained attention. Herein, we set out to replicate this finding in a large population-based sample of healthy young adults (n=1808). Sustained attention was evaluated with the Continuous Performance Test (CPT) as in the original study and working memory was assessed with the n-back task. Individuals carrying the BD risk T-allele showed significantly reduced sensitivity in target detection, increased errors of commission and atypical response latency variability. Additionally, we confirmed the lack of association between rs10994336 variant and working memory, as well as general intellectual ability, suggesting a specific effect on CPT performance.
