A weighted gene co-expression network analysis reveals lncRNA abnormalities in the peripheral blood associated with ultra-high-risk for psychosis

ABSTRACT: The primary study aim was to identify long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) abnormalities associated with ultra-high-risk (UHR) for psychosis based on a weighted gene co-expression network analysis.UHR patients were screened by the structured interview for prodromal syndromes (SIPS). We performed a WGCNA analysis on lncRNA and mRNA microarray profiles generated from the peripheral blood samples in fourteen treatment-seeking patients with UHR who never received psychiatric medication and eighteen demographically matched typically developing controls. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and canonical correlation analysis were then applied to reveal functions and correlation between lncRNAs and mRNAs.The lncRNAs were organized into co-expressed modules by WGCNA, two modules of which were strongly associated w
