Distinct genetic liability profiles define clinically relevant patient strata across common diseases

The paper identifies genetically distinct patient subgroups across diseases by analyzing polygenic risk and pathway convergence.

Sex-Dependent Shared and Non-Shared Genetic Architecture Across Mood and Psychotic Disorders

This study identifies sex-dependent genetic risk loci shared and specific to mood and psychotic disorders using genome-wide interaction analysis.

A comparison of ten polygenic score methods for psychiatric disorders applied across multiple cohorts

The paper compares ten polygenic score methods for psychiatric disorders across multiple cohorts, finding that some methods significantly improve prediction statistics over the baseline PC+T method.

Age at first birth in women is genetically associated with increased risk of schizophrenia

The paper finds a genetic association between schizophrenia risk and age at first birth in women, with different genetic correlations in younger and older age groups.

Estimation of genetic correlation using linkage disequilibrium score regression and genomic restricted maximum likelihood

This study compares LDSC and GREML methods for estimating genetic correlation, showing GREML provides higher accuracy, especially in the presence of genetic heterogeneity.

Identifying tagging SNPs for African specific genetic variation from the African Diaspora Genome

The paper designs a genotyping array (ADPC) for African-specific genetic variation using whole genome sequences from the CAAPA consortium, improving GWAS for African ancestry populations.

Genome-wide association study of asthma in individuals of African ancestry reveals novel asthma susceptibility loci

This study identifies novel asthma susceptibility loci in individuals of African ancestry through genome-wide association analysis and admixture mapping.
