Analysis of differentially methylated regions in primates and non-primates provides support for the evolutionary hypothesis of schizophrenia

2018-05-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> The persistence of schizophrenia in human populations separated by geography and time led to the evolutionary hypothesis that proposes schizophrenia as a by-product of the higher cognitive abilities of modern humans. To explore this hypothesis, we used here an evolutionary epigenetics approach building on differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of the genome. <h4>Methods</h4> We implemente...
