Summary of analytical methods in the context of the conceptual framework (predisposition, onset, illness) with examples of data sources and studies for which these methods are employed.

Perspective Data source Analytical method Examples
Predisposition Human genotype GWAS [3, 4]
Human GWAS summary data and postmortem-brain-derived QTLs Colocalization [158]
Mendelian randomization [3]
Transcriptomic imputation [20, 158, 164, 218]
Drug repurposing analyses [3, 20, 162]
hiPSC-derived brain cell transcriptomic data Gene set enrichment [59, 60, 169]
Onset Mouse genotype and brain transcriptomic data Context-specific QTL analysis [178]
Human genotype and transcriptomic data Context-specific QTL analysis [64, 179, 180]
