“…Looking at regional analysis, we have identified several significant DMRs annotated in genes related to inflammatory and immune processes, such as LTA , GFI1 , ARID5B , CD52 , TNFSF13 , SLFN13 , LST1 , TNFRSF1A , CCRL2 , and IL32 . Moreover, some significant genes are known to be related to schizophrenia risk, such as LTA (Arab & Elhawary, 2015 ; Pandey et al, 2018 ), ARID5B (Drago et al, 2014 ), TNFSF13 (Catts & Weickert, 2012 ), TNFRSF1A (Gandal et al, 2018 ), IL32 (Keshavarz et al, 2022 ), LDLRAD4 (Kikuchi et al, 2003 ), and GAS7 (Z. Zhang et al, 2016 ), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, like GFI1 (Miyake et al, 2021 ), bipolar disorder, including TNFRSF1A (Gandal et al, 2018 ), and autism spectrum disorder, like TNFRSF1A (Gandal et al, 2018 ) and C11orf21 (Dall’Aglio et al, 2018 ). Notably, another significant gene is LST1 (Leukocyte Specific Transcript 1), which plays a role in immune system regulation.…”
