The paper examines if human-specific differentially methylated regions (hDMRs) associated with schizophrenia show methylation differences in brain samples between patients and controls.

The paper analyzes differentially methylated regions in primates and non-primates to test the evolutionary hypothesis of schizophrenia, finding limited enrichment of schizophrenia associations in primate DMRs.

The paper identifies human-specific methylated regions enriched in schizophrenia GWAS signals and shows their enrichment surpasses other evolutionary markers.
