Both trans-diagnostic risk variants, and cis-risk variants for MDD were most significantly enriched in memory T helper cells at day 5 following T cell stimulation with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 beads that mimic activation occurring with T cell receptor-crosslinking; trans-risk variants and cis-risk variants for schizophrenia were also significantly enriched in memory T helper cells at 16 h and in naïve T helper cells at day 5 only (Fig. 4a). This evidence concerns the gene CD28 and schizophrenia.
