TL;DR

Findings support a role for USGs in the genetic architecture of SZ and suggest that common variation within this system may link genetic susceptibility to neurodevelopmental processes and cognitive heterogeneity in SZ.

Developmental and cellular vulnerabilities underlie genetic architecture of schizophrenia.

A high-resolution cellular and temporal framework of SZ susceptibility is established, implicating mature associative IT microcircuits, deep-layer thalamocortical-regulating networks, and early developmental specification windows as primary points of genetic convergence in SZ.

CNNM2 in schizophrenia: multilevel evidence of genetic susceptibility, magnesium homeostasis, neurodevelopment and cognitive dysfunction.

A systematic consolidation of current evidence supporting the involvement of CNNM2 in SCZ pathogenesis provides a direction for further investigation of the pathological mechanisms underlying this disease, and for identification of novel targets for clinical intervention.

Single-cell atlas of transcriptomic vulnerability across brain disorders

Neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases impose a considerable societal and public health burden. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these highly complex conditions remains limited1,2. Here, to gain deeper insights into the aetiology of different brain diseases, we used specimens f...

243. Dysconnectivity in schizophrenia: evidence at the molecular level via a network analysis of postmortem tissues

A reorganization of molecular networks in schizophrenia is demonstrated, with alterations in the micro-architecture of molecular couplings, strengthening the importance of investigating functional interactions among molecules, as such analyses may reveal significant alterations in schizophrenia that cannot be detected...

Autism Polygenic Score Is Associated With Sex-Dependent Broadening of Brain Network Variability

Background Autism polygenic scores (PGS) reliably predict case–control status yet explain little variance in autism-related traits. Landscape accounts of neurodevelopmental diversity propose that genetic liability broadens the range of viable neural configurations rather than shifting brain organisation toward dysfunct...

Single-nucleus transcriptome-wide association study of human brain disorders

These findings provide a cell-type-resolved and ancestry-aware atlas of genetically regulated expression in the human prefrontal cortex and illustrate how single-nucleus transcriptomics can sharpen gene discovery and therapeutic target prioritization for complex brain disorders.
