List of positional candidate genes after correcting for multiple testing and controlling the false discovery rate from genome wide association studies (GWAS) retrieved from the NHGRI-EBI Catalog of published genome-wide association studies (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/). The disease/trait examined in this study, as reported by the authors, was Alcohol and nictotine co-dependence. The EFO term alcohol and nicotine codependence was annotated to this set after curation by NHGRI-EBI. Intergenic SNPS were mapped to both the upstream and downstream gene. P-value uploaded. This gene set was generated using gwas2gs v. 0.1.8 and the GWAS Catalog v. 1.0.1.

Disorders caused by the intentional or unintentional ingestion or exposure to chemical substances such as PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS; NOXAE; and PESTICIDES.
Generated by gene2mesh v. 1.1.1
Psychiatric illness or diseases manifested by breakdowns in the adaptational process expressed primarily as abnormalities of thought, feeling, and behavior producing either distress or impairment of function.
Generated by gene2mesh v. 1.1.1
The processes, properties and biological objects that are involved in maintaining, expressing, and transmitting from one organism to another, genetically encoded traits.
Generated by gene2mesh v. 1.1.1
Abnormal anatomical or physiological conditions and objective or subjective manifestations of disease, not classified as disease or syndrome.
Generated by gene2mesh v. 1.1.1
A primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. The disease is often progressive and fatal. It is characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking, most notably denial. Each of these symptoms may be continuous or periodic.

Generated by gene2mesh v. 1.1.1
The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.
Generated by gene2mesh v. 1.1.1
A constitution or condition of the body which makes the tissues react in special ways to certain extrinsic stimuli and thus tends to make the individual more than usually susceptible to certain diseases.

Postmortem human brain tissue from the putamen region of a total of 48 individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and 51 control individuals were taken and RNA extracted from frozen tissue. Sequencing was carried out using the NovaSeq 6000 (Illumina) platform, and gene expression analysis was carried out with respect to AUD and control samples. Gene symbols from Entrez ids are used and Logbase2 FC as provided by the authors are annotated.

Dysregulation of NRSF/REST via EHMT1 is associated with psychiatric disorders and Kleefstra syndrome, Z scores
Description:
EHMT1 is an epigenetic repressor that is causal for Kleefstra Syndrome (KS), a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) leading to intelectual disability, and is associated with schizophrenia. Here, the researchers aim to show we show that reduced EHMT1 activity decreases NRSF/REST protein leading to abnormal neuronal gene expression and progression of neurodevelopment in human iPSC. Five induced pluripotent stem cell samples (from fibroblasts of adult, male, skin) were used. The stem cells were gifted from: Lieber Institute for Brain Development, Johns Hopkins Medical Campus. Total RNA extracted from a control hiPSC line and control cells treated for 72h with various concentrations of UNC0638 i.e 50, 100, 200 or 250nM as a model for Kleefstra syndrome. Polyadenylated adaptors were ligated to the 3′-end, 5′-adaptors were then ligated, and the resulting RNAs were reverse transcribed to generate cDNA that can be amplified by PCR. The amplified product was run on low range ultra agarose in TBE buffer and a size-selection was performed to ensure that the cDNA used for sequencing primarily contains miRNAs rather than other RNA contaminants. Expression values were calculated by the method detailed in 'HBA-DEALS: accurate and simultaneous identification of differential expression and splicing using hierarchical Bayesian analysis' (Genome Biol. 2020, PMID: 32660516), and Z scores calculated. Genes were annotated as Ensembl gene ids. SRA Study id ERP130338.
Differentially expressed genes from RPE compared to Normal Retina
Description:
Transcriptome profiling from macular retina and RPE/choroid samples from 27 unrelated eye tissue donors, was performed using RNA-sequencing. Human donor eye collection were obtained from Utah Lions Eye Bank within a 6-hour post-mortem interval and donors aged 60-90 years. Sample types were Normal Retina, Intermediate AMD Retina, Neovascular AMD Retina, Normal macular retina pigment epithelium (RPE), Intermediate AMD RPE, and Neovascular AMD RPE. Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) phenotyping was determined using the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) severity grading scale, where AREDS category 0/1 was considered normal, AREDS category 3 intermediate AMD, and AREDS category 4b neovascular AMD. Samples from Normal RPE were compared to Normal Retina, and are presented with fold change > 1.5 and and P < 0.05. This gene set was annotated from the Supplementry Table of BioRxiv pre-print paper ‘Patterns of gene expression and allele-specific expression vary among macular tissues and clinical stages of Age-related Macular Degeneration’ by Zhang et.al (2022) doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.12.19.521092
Differential gene expression between CS13 and CS17
Description:
Human craniofacial tissues were collected from the Joint MRC/Wellcome Trust Human Developmental Biology (HDBR). Donations of tissue to HDBR are made under-informed ethical consent with Research Tissue Bank ethical approval by women undergoing termination of pregnancy. Gene expression profiles were generated from multiple biological replicates of primary craniofacial (CF) tissue from four distinct Carnegie Stages (CS) of the embryonic period, CS13, CS14, CS15, and CS17. Here the differential expression comparison between CS13 and CS17 is shown. Gene expressions values with log to the base 2 are presented with P-Adj <0.05. UBERON:0015789, cranial or facial muscle.

Data from GEO GSE194368 and analyzed using GEO2R, only top gene shown. Authors identified transcriptional adaptations of GR signaling in the amygdala of humans with OUD. Thus, GRs, their coregulators and downstream systems may represent viable therapeutic targets to treat the “stress side” of OUD.
