Rare coding variants in ten genes confer substantial risk for schizophrenia
Rare coding variation has historically provided the most direct connections between gene
function and disease pathogenesis. By meta-analysing the whole exomes of 24,248 …

Cell-type-specific cis-eQTLs in eight human brain cell types identify novel risk genes for psychiatric and neurological disorders
To date, most expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies, which investigate how genetic
variants contribute to gene expression, have been performed in heterogeneous brain …
