This study compares polygenic risk scores for Parkinson's disease across seven ancestries, finding varying predictive accuracy and highlighting the need for ancestry-specific models.

This study identifies genetic correlations between hyposmia and Parkinson's disease, finding a strong causal link from PD to hyposmia but weaker evidence for the reverse.

This study investigates the shared genetic architecture between rhythm and dyslexia using large-scale genome-wide association studies.

This study performs a multi-ancestry GWAS of diarrhea during acute SARS-CoV2 infection, identifying six novel loci and contrasting genetic roles of IBS subtypes in COVID-19 diarrhea.

MUSSEL improves polygenic risk prediction across populations by integrating GWAS summary statistics and using Bayesian hierarchical modeling with ensemble learning.

This paper conducts a multi-ancestry genome-wide meta-analysis of Parkinson's disease, identifying 78 independent loci and 23 genes associated with PD risk.

The paper introduces CT-SLEB, a method for multi-ancestry polygenic prediction that improves performance in non-European populations using GWAS summary statistics and simulation studies.

This study identifies 49 genetic loci associated with sleep apnoea risk using multi-trait GWAS, with 29 replicated in a large cohort, and finds genetic correlations with several complex traits.

This study conducts a genome-wide association study to identify genetic variants linked to musical beat synchronization, finding high polygenicity with 69 significant loci and heritability estimates of 13%-16%.

The paper identifies a genetic association between the UGT2A1/UGT2A2 locus and COVID-19-related anosmia using a trans-ethnic GWAS.

The paper constructs polygenic indexes for 47 phenotypes across 11 datasets and provides a tool to correct errors-in-variables bias when using PGIs as proxies for the additive SNP factor.

The paper identifies sex-differential participation bias in genetic studies by performing GWAS on sex in 3.3 million individuals, finding 158 loci associated with sex and highlighting traits like BMI that may influence participation.
