Abstract:AimSchizophrenia (SZ) is a severe psychiatric disorder caused by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Although somatic mutations that occur in the brain after fertilization may play an important role in the cause of SZ, their frequencies and patterns in the brains of patients and related animal models have not been well studied. This study aimed to find somatic mutations related to the pathophysiology of SZ.MethodsWe performed whole‐exome sequencing (WES) of neuronal and nonneuronal nuclei iso… Show more
