Abstract excerpt
Integrative studies such as transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) and Mendelian randomization (MR) have identified multiple risk genes whose expression level is associated with schizophrenia (SCZ). However, the vast majority of integrative studies are based on quantitative trait loci (QTL) data from bulk brain tissues. Given that gene expression and genetic regulatory effects are highly dependent on cell...
