What is the name of the genetic test for bi-polar?

Hi..
Genetic counseling ..

Thirty-one subjects with bipolar illness ..completed a questionnaire about genetic risk for bipolar disorder... Subjects estimated both quantitative and qualitative genetic risk for bipolar disorder for the following categories: general population, siblings, parents, spouses, and children. Results showed.. that quantitative risks were inflated when compared to qualitative risks and that subjects routinely overestimated the risk for developing bipolar illness... These findings suggest that genetic counseling may be useful...
