it is probably not connected with any given chromosome. i suspect it involves dozens or even hundreds of different genes scattered over the chromosomes, and the allele of each gene that causes bipolar when you get many of them is the same one that gives a person with only a few some unusual ability that is very advantageous. i believe that any genetic attempt to eliminate bipolar would severely harm the human species!
No, bipolar disorder is not linked to the Y chromosome. It is a complex mental health condition believed to be influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurobiological factors. The exact cause of bipolar disorder is not fully understood.
bipolar disorder is found on the x-linked chromosome. Since female has 2 pairs of X chromosome. The effect of bad gene is compensated by other pair. Hence it carries to generations without being noticed. Also it is being liked to reproductive cycle of females. Where as male has one X and One Y chromosome. Hence a faulty X has no way to compensate. So if a male has bipolar disorder it is most likely to be of bipolar disorder of type 1 (most severe). Thought data shows males have less tendency of having bipolar disorder in percentage terms.
We do not know at this time. Nothing is known for certain about any of its possible causes.
