Forensic Context

The long non-coding RNA BDNF-AS is identified as a therapeutic target in Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia, where it functions by targeting BDNF, GDNF, and EPHB2 [Das et al. DOI:10.1080/21655979.2021.2003667]. A study in humans demonstrated that the expression of six long noncoding RNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was significantly down-regulated in patients with major depressive disorder compared to healthy controls, with further significant reductions observed in patients exhibiting suicidal ideation or a past suicide attempt [Cui et al. DOI:10.1002/brb3.711].
