Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) reveal numerous schizophrenia (SCZ)-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs); however, functional characterizations of the risk variants remain to be established. Using data from 108 SCZ GWAS loci, we performed systematic miRNA binding site screening of 128 SCZ-associated SNPs and found that 2 out of 3 SNPs located in the 3'UTR were predicted to alter 3 miRNAs'...
