The present invention provides isolated polynucleotides encoding a receptor gene called GPR50 having at least one polymorphic sites.It furthermore provides a method for analysing polimorphic sites in said receptor gene. Certain of these polynucleotides having a polymorphic site (allelic variants) are found to be more prevalent in a population of patients with clinical Bipolar Depression compared to a control population. A method for the genetic testing of Bipolar Depression is a further embodiment of the present invention. Furthermore, polynucleotides encompassing these polymorphic sites, the invariant distal or proximal to the polymorphic site localized polynucleotides as well as the polynucleotides encoding GPR50 are part of the invention. The present invention also provides a recombinant cell line expressing these novel receptors at appropriate levels such that novel compounds active at these receptors may be identified for therapeutic use.

La présente invention concerne des polynucléotides isolés qui codent un gène récepteur appelé GPR50 comprenant au moins un site polymorphe ainsi qu'une méthode d'analyse des sites polymorphes présents dans ledit gène récepteur. On a remarqué que certains de ces polynucléotides ayant un site polymorphe (variants alléliques) sont plus courants parmi une population de patients atteints de dépression bipolaire clinique que parmi une population témoin. Une forme de réalisation de l'invention concerne une méthode de dépistage génétique de la dépression bipolaire. Cette invention concerne également des polynucléotides comprenant ces sites polymorphes, l'invariant distal ou proximal aux polynucléotides localisés à site polymorphe ainsi que les polynucléotides codant GPR50. Cette invention concerne également une lignée cellulaire de recombinaison exprimant ces nouveaux récepteurs à des niveaux appropriés qui permet d'identifier de nouveaux composés actifs au niveau de ces récepteurs pour les utiliser en thérapie.
