Notes on use
- All gene-sets have good quality with respect to enrichment in neuropsychological functions and phenotypes
ExpHsBr and PhMmAll are the ones I found of higher quality when overlapping with my autism gene-set analysis results
A sizable number of genes inPhMmAll may have neurological system development phenotypes at relatively early stages (e.g. neural tube formation)
PhHsPsy probably includes several genes from candidate gene studies, but is otherwise of good quality
The distinction between PhHsPsy and PhHsDev is a bit loose, these two gene-sets could be collapsed
PhHsMsc is quite heterogeneous, and its neurovascular and neurodegenerative auto-immune components are probably source of bad candidates for researchers working on autism, schizophrenia or ADHD
PhMmAll is not completely unbiased, as investigators will make KO mouse models for genes of interest
ExpHsBr may be partially biased towards well characterized genes

Notes on use
- These gene-sets depend on Gene Ontology annotations; genes that are poorly annotated are likely to be covered by neurological phenotypes or brain-specific expression gene-sets
