The effectors of miRNAs targeted by both lithium and VPA treatments were predicted using TargetScan. Genetic data were originated from the WTCCC whole genome association study. The WTCCC-reported SNPs list (p-value < 0.001) was obtained from the supplement of the WTCCC paper and SNP corresponding gene IDs were retrieved from the NCBI database. Comparison of predicted miRNA effectors and genetic data was done using the Ingenuity Pathways Analysis System.
