We studied ZNF804A transcripts in DLPFC from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)/Lieber Institute for Brain Development series, including a lifetime cohort of nonpsychiatric controls from second trimester to 85 years old and patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder (Table; see the article by Lipska et al28 for additional methods regarding demographic, clinical, and pathological descriptions). A subset of these postmortem fetal, infant, child, and adolescent brain tissue samples was provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Brain and Tissue Bank for Developmental Disorders. Another subset of the adult samples was donated to this study from the Stanley Brain Collection of the Stanley Medical Research Institute (see the article by Torrey et al29 for additional details on this collection). These samples were curated, processed, and dissected with methods identical to those used for the samples collected by the NIMH/Lieber Institute for Brain Development.
