Key Points

The aim is to explore the relationship between transcriptomic changes and confirmed suicide cases, focusing on differentially expressed genes.
Conducted a meta-analysis integrating 16 cohorts
Analyzed transcriptomic alterations in confirmed suicide cases
Identified differentially expressed genes in various brain regions and DLPFC
Markers P2RY12 and CX3CR1 were consistently identified across all brain regions
Differentially expressed genes were linked to phenotypic variations related to suicide
DLPFC showed significant transcriptomic alterations associated with suicide cases

Implication

Meta-analysis identifies transcriptomic markers linked to suicide in various brain regions, suggesting phenotype significance.

Abstract

We read with interest the meta-analysis by Sokolov, Lafta et al. [ 1 ] investigating transcriptomic alterations in confirmed suicide cases, primarily in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). We commend the authors for their effort integrating 16 cohorts to identify differentially expressed genes, among which were the markers P2RY12 and CX3CR1 in all brain regions and in the DLPFC.
