Genetic regulation of human brain proteome reveals proteins implicated in psychiatric disorders.

ABSTRACT: Psychiatric disorders are highly heritable yet polygenic, potentially involving hundreds of risk genes. Genome-wide association studies have identified hundreds of genomic susceptibility loci with susceptibility to psychiatric disorders; however, the contribution of these loci to the underlying psychopathology and etiology remains elusive. Here we generated deep human brain proteomics data by quantifying 11,608 proteins across 268 subjects using 11-plex tandem mass tag coupled with two-dimensional liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Our analysis revealed 788 cis-acting protein quantitative trait loci associated with the expression of 883 proteins at a genome-wide false discovery rate <5%. In contrast to expression at the transcript level and complex diseases that are found to b
