Abstract:Background: Recent studies have implicated variations in DNA methylation in the aetiology of schizophrenia. Genome-wide scans in both brain and blood report differential methylated regions (DMRs) and positions (DMPs) between patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls. Previously, we reported that DMRs where human specific methylation (hDMR) has occurred over evolutionary time are enriched for schizophrenia-associated markers (SCZ_hDMR). However, it is unknown whether these human specific DMRs show variab… Show more
