Genetic Risk and Resilience for Schizophrenia Stratified by Perinatal Gene Expression Predict Adult Cognitive Performance

Gianluca Christos Kikidis, Alessandra Raio, Leonardo Sportelli, Linda Antonella Antonucci, Alessandro Bertolino, Antonio Rampino, Pierluigi Selvaggi, Daniel R. Weinberger, Giulio Pergola

The paper examines how schizophrenia genetic risk and resilience variants, co-expressed in the human brain, are associated with cognitive performance across development in 16,520 individuals.
