Abstract excerpt
Schizophrenia is a highly heritable psychiatric disorder, yet the molecular mechanisms by which genetic risk contributes to disease pathophysiology remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigate the functional consequences of XPO7 loss of function (LoF) in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons, focusing on its role as a schizophrenia risk gene identified through recent large-scale...
