Euthymic bipolar disorder (BD) youths have a deficit in face emotion labeling that is present across multiple emotions. Recent research indicates that youths at familial risk for BD, but without a history of mood disorder, also have a deficit in face emotion labeling, suggesting that such impairments may be an endophenotype for BD. It is unclear if this deficit in at-risk youths is present across all emotions or if the impairment presents initially as an emotion-specific dysfunction that then generalizes to other emotions as the symptoms of BD become manifest. 37 patients with pediatric BD, 25 unaffected children with a first-degree relative with BD, and 36 typically developing youths were administered the Emotional Expression Multimorph Task, a computerized behavioral task which presents gradations of facial emotions from 100% neutrality to 100% emotional expression (happiness, surprise, fear, sadness, anger, disgust). Repeated measures analysis of covariance revealed that, compared to healthy youths, patients and at-risk youths required significantly more intense emotional information to identify and correctly label face emotions. Patients with BD and at-risk youths did not differ from each other. Group-by-emotion interactions were not significant, indicating that the group effects did not differ based on the facial emotion. Youths at risk for BD demonstrate non-specific deficits in face emotion recognition, similar to patients with the illness. Further research is needed to determine if such deficits meet all criteria for an endophenotype.
