Background: Previous studies suggested mitochondrial abnormality in bipolar disorder: (I) possible contribution of parent-of-origin effect in transmission of bipolar disorder; (2) abnormal brain phosphorus metabolism detected by phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy; (3) comorbidity of affective disorders in patients with mitochondrial encephalopathy; (4) increased levels of the 4977bp deletion of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in the postmortem brains. We investigated mtDNA polymorphisms in association with bipolar disorder. Methods: Twelve PCR fragments including all tRNA genes were examined by the single-strand conformation polymorphism method in 43 bipolar patients. All observed polymorphisms were sequenced. Association of these polymorphisms with bipolar disorder was examined by restriction fragment length polymorphism method in 135 bipolar patients and 187 controls. Results: In total, we found 28 polymorphisms including 14 polymorphisms that have not been reported previously. The A10398G polymorphism was significantly associated with bipolar disorder (10398A genotype: 33.1% in bipolar, 22.2% in the control, P
