Massively parallel reporter assay investigates shared genetic variants of eight psychiatric disorders High-throughput experimental validation of genetic variants linked to eight psychiatric disorders reveals the regulatory mechanisms underlying variants with pleiotropic and disorder-specific effects.

Congratulations to Hyejung Won and the Won Lab for their recent publication in Cell! This study finds that eight psychiatric disorders share the same genetic causes.
