2. THE NEED URGENT UNMET NEED Neuropsychiatric disorders cost the U.S. Economy > $80 billion/year. Neuropsychiatric conditions are the leading cause of disability in young people worldwide. 70% 70% of youth in thejuvenile justice system are living with at least one mental healthcondition. Traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of long-term disability in children andadults younger than 35years. 1 in 4 experience mentalillness in a givenyear. More veterans die of suicide than in combat at rate of 20 suicides perday. 2

35. WRAPPING UP 35 Summary • Used conservative methods/options to reduce false positives • Quantified expression at different feature levels • Widespread development differences between HIPPO and DLPFC in postnatal life • Adapted the qSVA framework for 2 brain regions and set the ground work for N > 2 • Results suggest regional specificity for case-control effects with enrichment towards genes with decreased expression in schizophrenia • Potential need to have regionally targeted therapies for schizophrenia because schizophrenia risk seems region-specific In progress: pre-print
