Our analyses prioritize 27 genes within 24 genome-wide significant (GWAS p < 5 × 10−8) SCZ loci and 19 genes in 17 suggestive (p < 1 × 10−6) loci. In addition to a number of previously implicated SCZ risk genes, our findings include several genes not previously considered as candidates,35 in some cases—e.g., SLC35E2, PTPRU (MIM: 602454), LINC01792, DCLK3, PPM1M, LOC101929479—because the genes themselves do not overlap the GWAS locus regions but their eQTL do. In examining these genes for expression specificity in GTEx tissues, brain sample cell types from single-cell RNA-seq,29 and in BrainSpan DLPFC developmental periods (Tables 2 and S8), we find their expression contexts show a diversity of patterns and can provide clues to generate specific hypotheses for functional follow-up of their potential roles in SCZ. Interestingly, genes broadly expressed across cell types tend to show prenatal expression.
