Studies on gene x environment interaction (GxE) have provided vital information for uncovering the origins of complex diseases. When considering the etiology of bipolar disorder (BD), the role of such interactions is unknown. Here, we tested whether trauma during childhood could modify the effect of two polymorphisms in the CACNA1C gene (rs1006737 and rs4765913) in terms of susceptibility to BD. The study enrolled 878 Caucasian young adults in a cross-sectional population-based survey. BD diagnosis was performed using a clinical interview MINI 5.0, and trauma was assessed with the childhood trauma questionnaire (CTQ). Binary logistic regression models were employed to test the main effects of polymorphisms, haplotypes, and GxE interactions using sex as a confounder. We did not observe an association between the polymorphisms and diagnosis of BD. However, we noted that childhood trauma modified the effect of the rs4765913 polymorphism (p = .018) and the AA haplotype (rs1006737 - rs4765913) (p = .018) on BD susceptibility. A allele carriers of the rs4765913 polymorphism or the AA haplotype exposed to childhood trauma are more likely to develop BD compared to the individuals without a genetic risk. Thus, this study showed that the risk of developing BD in individuals exposed to childhood trauma was influenced by the individual's genetic background, varying according to the CACNA1C genotypes.
