Abstract excerpt
Increasing evidence supports the role of the placenta in neurodevelopment and in the onset of neuropsychiatric disorders. Recently, mQTL and iQTL maps have proven useful in understanding relationships between SNPs and GWAS that are not captured by eQTL. In this context, we propose that part of the genetic predisposition to complex neuropsychiatric disorders acts through placental DNA methylation. We construct a...
