Multi-ancestry, trans-generational GWAS meta-analysis of gestational diabetes and glycaemic traits during pregnancy reveals limited evidence of pregnancy-specific genetic effects

Caroline Brito Nunes, Valentina Rukins, Aminata Hallimat Cissé, Frédérique White, Nancy McBride, Alan Kuang, Catherine Allard, Justiina Ronkainen, Alice Hughes, Amanda Elliott, Guðmar Þorleifsson, Marc Vaudel, Triin Laisk, Yuqin Gu, Amel Lamri, , Gunn-Helen Moen

The paper conducts a multi-ancestry, trans-generational GWAS meta-analysis of gestational diabetes and glycemic traits, identifying novel loci and highlighting limited pregnancy-specific genetic effects.

The impact of rare protein coding genetic variation on adult cognitive function

Chia‐Yen Chen, Ruoyu Tian, Tian Ge, Max Lam, Gabriela Sánchez-Andrade, Tarjinder Singh, Lea Urpa, Jimmy Z. Liu, Mark Sanderson, Christine Rowley, Holly Ironfield, Terry Fang, Biogen Biobank Team, The SUPER-Finland study, Aija Kyttälä, , Heiko Runz

This study identifies eight genes associated with adult cognitive function through rare coding variants and shows how KDM5B dosage affects cognitive traits in mice and humans.
