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. The gene discussed is DICER1; the disease is schizophrenia.
