Note: Values are mean (standard deviation).

DLPFC, dorsolateral prefrontal; SCZ, schizophrenia; BP, bipolar disorder; ANOVA, analysis of variance; PMI, postmortem interval; RIN, RNA integrity number obtained for samples isolated for RNA sequencing; ACC, anterior cingulated; SA, schizoaffective disorder; BP + P, bipolar disorder subjects with psychosis; BP – P, bipolar disorder subjects without psychosis; QC, quality control; PCA, principal component analysis.

*Significantly different from C subjects.
