A literature search was conducted, covering over 200 common histone modifications and the top 20 common psychiatric disorders. The results indicate that 26 histone tail modifications are positively associated with ten psychiatric disorders, with most located at H3 and H4 tails, and only one at the H2AX tail. All modifications occur at lysines (K), except for two at arginine (R) or serine (S). The top five modifications associated with psychiatric disorders are H3K9ac, H3K4me3, H3K27ac, H3K9me2, and γH2AX. The majority of the studies (92%) report substance use disorders, Alzheimer's disease, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, and autism spectrum disorders as the top five psychiatric disorders associated with histone tail modifications. In conclusion, histone tail modifications play crucial roles in various psychiatric disorders, and targeting them and associated epigenetic regulators may offer potential therapeutic strategies for treating psychiatric disorders by providing new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying abnormal gene expression.</p>","PeriodicalId":72862,"journal":{"name":"EC psychology and psychiatry","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13134692/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147824081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve this, a literature search was conducted, focusing on three major spatial omics techniques and their application to three common psychiatric disorders: Alzheimer's disease (AD), schizophrenia, and autism spectrum disorders. Spatial genomics analysis has revealed specific genes associated with neuropsychiatric disorders in certain brain regions. Spatial transcriptomics analysis has identified genes related to AD in areas such as the hippocampus, olfactory bulb, and middle temporal gyrus. It has also provided insight into the response to AD in mouse models. Spatial proteogenomics has identified autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-risk genes in specific cell types, while schizophrenia risk loci have been linked to transcriptional signatures in the human hippocampus. In summary, spatial multiomics analysis offers a powerful approach to understand AD pathology and other psychiatric diseases, integrating multiple data modalities to identify risk genes for these disorders. It is valuable for studying psychiatric disorders with high or low cellular heterogeneity and provides new insights into the brain nucleome to predict disease progression and aid diagnosis and treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":72862,"journal":{"name":"EC psychology and psychiatry","volume":"12 6","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10328214/pdf/nihms-1914310.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9813000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
