Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully mapped thousands of loci associated with complex traits. These associations could reveal the molecular mechanisms …
Abstract Characterization of the genetic landscape of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADD) provides a unique opportunity for a better understanding of the associated …
Schizophrenia has a heritability of 60–80%, much of which is attributable to common risk alleles. Here, in a two-stage genome-wide association study of up to 76,755 individuals with …
Previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of stroke—the second leading cause of death worldwide—were conducted predominantly in populations of European ancestry …
The development of transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) has enabled researchers to better identify and interpret causal genes in many diseases. However, there …
Host-mediated lung inflammation is present, and drives mortality, in the critical illness caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Host genetic variants associated with …
Bipolar disorder is a heritable mental illness with complex etiology. We performed a genome- wide association study of 41,917 bipolar disorder cases and 371,549 controls of European …
Critical illness in COVID-19 is an extreme and clinically homogeneous disease phenotype that we have previously shown to be highly efficient for discovery of genetic associations …
Biobanks facilitate genome-wide association studies (GWASs), which have mapped genomic loci across a range of human diseases and traits. However, most biobanks are …
