Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified numerous genomic loci linked to schizophrenia (SCZ), while their pathogenic mechanisms largely remain unclear. This study demonstrated protein arginine methyltransferase 7 (PRMT7) as a key target of SCZ risk SNPs with allele-specific enhancer activity at 16q22.1. Downregulating PRMT7 in neural progenitor cells (NPCs) decreased proliferation, increased...
