Although the correlations among HERV-W ENV, linc01930 and IFN-β were moderately relevant, the consistency ratio of HERV-W ENV to linc01930 and IFN-β was 57.1% and 66.7%, respectively, indicating more samples possibly improved cut point of the linc01930 and IFN-β between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls, which was our aim in the further study. The gene discussed is IFNB1; the disease is schizophrenia.
