Molecular, genetic and epigenetic signatures in the brains of subjects with or without mental disorders

The HBCC Postmortem Psychiatric Molecular Studies dataset is a collection of genetic and molecular data derived from post-mortem brain tissues of individuals with psychiatric disorders. The study focuses on identifying molecular signatures associated with mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and others. Brain tissue samples are collected under strict protocols with IRB approval, ensuring ethical handling of materials provided by next-of-kin consent. The dataset includes DNA extracted from cerebellar tissue, genotyped using Illumina Beadarray chips, RNA expression data from hippocampus, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and dura mater regions, as well as RNA-seq datasets for DLPFC and subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC). The study aims to advance understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders by analyzing genetic variations, gene expression, and other molecular profiles across diverse brain regions in individuals with these conditions. Over 468 brains have been dissected into various regions for this purpose.

Despite strong evidence of heritability and growing discovery of genetic markers for major mental illness, little is known about how gene expression in the brain differs across psychiatric diagnoses, or how known genetic risk factors shape these differences. Here we investigate expressed genes and g...

Many psychiatric disorders are heritable, but the molecular consequences of genetic risk remain difficult to resolve, in part due to environmental confounds and the complexity of transcriptomic data. This challenge impedes therapeutic development, which relies on integrating genetic and genomic insi...

Allele-specific expression (ASE), where genetic variants exert dynamic control over gene expression, is not well studied in major psychiatric disorders. Here, we used transcriptome analysis in postmortem brain to identify genes with ASE, quantify differences in ASE in Schizophrenia (SCZ), Bipolar Di...

Many gene expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) studies have published their summary statistics, which can be used to gain insight into complex human traits by downstream analyses, such as fine mapping and co-localization. However, technical differences between these datasets are a barrier to t...
