I am seeking research on any areas that would give false positive results for Bipolar Affect Disorder (BPAD). I have not been successful finding current studies. I am curious if Thyroid evidence would impact results?
Also, knowing that Chromosome 18, with parental linkage has impact, has anyone completed research on parental/patient (nuclear family) testing for significance? I did find one study regarding this latter topic. Thank you. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1801428/
To clarify, I am wanting to know if other issues, as thyroid, can show similar symptoms as bipolar.

Thank you for these abstracts. Good thing German is my first language to read Bleuler's original texts.
The manic-depressive psychosis is a very rare endogenic psychosis (incidence simmmilar to Sch 1-2 %). Today 90 % of so called Bipolaraffective disorders are symptomatic, organic disorders o brain and body (endocrine, too) or jatrogenic (pharmacological switch by use of Antidepressive drugs!).
