NFKB1 and schizophrenia: Based on the previously reported dysregulation of NF-κB signaling in schizophrenia5 and the regulatory role of lncRNAs on this pathway6, in the current study, we evaluated expression of nine NF-κB-related lncRNAs namely DILC, ANRIL, PACER, CHAST, ADINR, DICER1-AS1, HNF1A-AS1, H19 and NKILA as well as two mRNA coding genes namely ATG5 and CEBPA in the peripheral blood of patients with schizophrenia compared with matched healthy subjects.
