It is unclear, whether abnormal pituitary volumes increase vulnerability forBD(primary vulnerability marker), or are secondaryto burden of illness. To address this question, we performed the first high-risk study of pituitary volumes in affected and unaffected relatives of bipolar subjects. Method High-risk participants (age range 15?30 years) were recruited from families multiply affected with BD and included 24 unaffected, 19 affected subjects with first or second degree bipolar I or II relative, matched by age and sex with 31 controls without a personal or family history of psychiatric disorders.
