miR-124-3p mediates polygenic risk shared between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

Neuron. 2023 Jan 18;111(2):144-146. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2022.12.024.

Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Namkung et al. demonstrate that the microRNA miR-124-3p is associated with polygenic risk scores shared between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and confers risk to behavioral alterations common to these two disorders through modulation of AMPA receptor neurotransmission.
