Outline of Final Research Achievements

Omics (genome, transcriptome, and proteome) analysis of lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL) derived from schizophrenia patients and healthy controls was conducted to explore the key molecules underlying the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. The subtle differences between schizophrenics and controls in gene and protein levels were detected, and they were related to the molecular mechanisms that contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. In addition, we successfully constructed logistic regression models with good discriminative ability between schizophrenics and controls and detected a number of regulatory SNPs by integrating data from genotype and expression wise analysis (expression quantitative trait loci: eQTL).
