Connecting genomic results for psychiatric disorders to human brain cell types and regions reveals convergence with functional connectivity by Shuyang Yao, Arvid Harder, Fahimeh Darki, Yu-Wei Chang, Ang Li, Kasra Nikouei, Giovanni Volpe, Johan N. Lundström, Jian Zeng, Naomi R. Wray, Yi Lu, Patrick F. Sullivan, Jens Hjerling-Leffler

“…Abstract Identifying cell types and brain regions critical for psychiatric disorders and brain traits is essential for targeted neurobiological research. By integrating genomic insights from genome-wide association studies with a comprehensive single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the adult human brain, we prioritized specific neuronal clusters significantly enriched for the SNP-heritabilities for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder along with intelligence, education, and neuroticism. …”
