Discovery of the first genome-wide significant risk loci for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable childhood behavioral
disorder affecting 5% of children and 2.5% of adults. Common genetic variants contribute …

[HTML][HTML] Analysis of shared heritability in common disorders of the brain
Brainstorm Consortium - Science (New York, NY), 2018 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Disorders of the brain can exhibit considerable epidemiological comorbidity and often share
symptoms, provoking debate about their etiologic overlap. We quantified the genetic sharing …

Leveraging polygenic functional enrichment to improve GWAS power
Functional genomics data has the potential to increase GWAS power by identifying SNPs
that have a higher prior probability of association. Here, we introduce a method that …

Genome-wide association analyses of risk tolerance and risky behaviors in over 1 million individuals identify hundreds of loci and shared genetic influences
Humans vary substantially in their willingness to take risks. In a combined sample of over 1
million individuals, we conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of general risk …

Large-scale association analysis identifies new lung cancer susceptibility loci and heterogeneity in genetic susceptibility across histological subtypes
Although several lung cancer susceptibility loci have been identified, much of the heritability
for lung cancer remains unexplained. Here 14,803 cases and 12,262 controls of European …
