Extended gene set analysis of human neuro-psychiatric traits shows enrichment in brain-expressed human accelerated regions across development.

Abstract excerpt

Human neuropsychiatric disorders are associated with genetic and environmental factors affecting the brain, which has been subjected to strong evolutionary pressures resulting in an enlarged cerebral cortex and improved cognitive performance. Thus, genes involved in human brain evolution may also play a role in neuropsychiatric disorders. We test whether genes associated with 7 neuropsychiatric phenotypes are...
