Table 2. The result about whether the brain was optimized as the schizophrenia-associated tissue based on each brain region’s gene/isoform-level eQTLs.
Brain regions | Gene-level eQTL | Isoform-level eQTL |
---|---|---|
Brain-Anterior cingulate cortex (BA24) | Yes | Yes |
Brain-Cerebellum | Yes | Yes |
Brain-Frontal Cortex (BA9) | Yes | Yes |
Brain-Hippocampus | Yes | Yes |
Brain-Spinal cord (cervical c-1) | Yes | Yes |
Brain-Amygdala | Yes | No |
Brain-Caudate (basal ganglia) | Yes | No |
Brain-Cerebellar Hemisphere | Yes | No |
Brain-Cortex | Yes | No |
Brain-Hypothalamus | Yes | No |
Brain-Nucleus accumbens (basal ganglia) | Yes | No |
Brain-Putamen (basal ganglia) | No | No |
Brain-Substantia nigra | Yes | No |
“Yes” denotes that brain (i.e., all thirteen brain tissues) was estimated as the significantly schizophrenia-associated tissue based on the gene/isoform-level eQTLs of the tissue. “No” denotes the contrary. The font names of the optimized brain regions are bold. See also Table 2—source data 1, Table 2—source data 2, Table 2—source data 3 and Table 2—source data 4.
