Abstract excerpt
Although genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified many schizophrenia-associated variants, their biological mechanisms remain unclear. Using transcriptomic data from human brain tissues, we performed splicing quantitative trait locus (sQTL) analyses of schizophrenia-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms and identified more than 17,000 sQTLs linked to previously unidentified splicing junctions....
