Four genes in females (MAD1L1, Metazoa_SRP, CNNM2, RPS17) and eight genes in males (BAP1, ACY1, KANSL1, CHMP1A, CTNNA1, EIF5, CLP1, SNORD3B-1) contained placental transcripts whose individual predicted expression was associated with schizophrenia with opposite directionality, suggesting that the link between genomic risk for schizophrenia and splicing events in the placental transcriptome is not biased by sex-related differences (Supplementary Data 16,19). The gene discussed is Metazoa_SRP; the disease is schizophrenia.
