Genetic association results are often interpreted with the assumption that study participation
does not affect downstream analyses. Understanding the genetic basis of participation bias …

The trait of participating in a genetic study probably has a genetic component. Identifying this
component is difficult as we cannot compare genetic information of participants with …

While volunteer-based studies such as the UK Biobank have become the cornerstone of
genetic epidemiology, the participating individuals are rarely representative of their target …

In human populations, assortative mating is almost universally positive, with similarities

Sex differences in complex traits are suspected to be in part due to widespread gene-by-sex
interactions (GxSex), but empirical evidence has been elusive. Here, we infer the mixture of …

INTRODUCTION Across human societies and in both sexes, some 2 to 10% of individuals
report engaging in sex with same-sex partners, either exclusively or in addition to sex with …

Males and females present differences in complex traits and in the risk of a wide array of
diseases. Genotype by sex (GxS) interactions are thought to account for some of these …

Background Sex differences are a common feature of human traits; however, the role sex
determination plays in human genetic variation remains unclear. The presence of gene-by …
