Setd1a Loss-of-function Disrupts Epigenetic Regulation of Ribosomal Genes via Altered DNA Methylation
AbstractBackground and Hypothesis. SETD1A, a histone methyltransferase, is implicated in schizophrenia through rare loss-of-function mutations. While SETD1

Analysis of exome sequencing data implicates rare coding variants in STAG1 and ZNF136 in schizophrenia
Rare coding variants across many genes contribute to schizophrenia liability, but they have only been implicated in 12 genes at exome-wide levels of significance. To increase power for gene discovery,...
