A Biobank for Bipolar Disorder, by Mayo Clinic Individualized Medicine

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this biobank is to develop a research resource for bipolar disorder. Patients, and close genetic relatives, will provide samples of blood, complete interviews, complete health questionnaires, and allow access to medical records. Participants will also agree to be followed into the future by linking to medical records, along with occasional follow-up health surveys or collection of additional biologic specimens. The biobank serves as a source for researchers instead of having to look for volunteers for each new project.
