Systematic review of blood transcriptome profiling in neuropsychiatric disorders: guidelines for biomarker discovery

ConclusionsDetailed consideration of statistical analysis in the early stages of experimental planning is critical to ensure blood‐based biomarker discovery and validation. Statistical guidelines are presented to enhance implementation and reproducibility of machine learning and gene network analyses across independent studies. Future studies capitalizing on larger sample sizes and emerging next‐generation technologies set the stage for moving the field forwards. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
