This paper conducts a genome-wide association study of Alzheimer's disease and dementia in a multi-ancestry military cohort, identifying 72 new dementia-associated loci through meta-analysis.

This paper develops an APOE-independent polygenic risk score for Alzheimer's disease that shows associations with cognitive decline and neuropathological markers across diverse populations.

Population-stratified GWAS of 2,068 traits in 635,969 Million Veteran Program participants, 29% genetically non-European, yields 98,485 associations and 57,601 fine-mapped signals with largely shared cross-population architecture.

This study conducts a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in U.S. military veterans, identifying 15 genome-wide significant loci and showing genetic correlations with psychiatric traits.

The paper examines the prevalence, morbidity, and mortality of sex chromosome aneuploidy in men from the MVP cohort, finding a prevalence of 1 in 370 males with higher healthcare utilization and poorer HRQoL but similar life expectancy compared to controls.

This study performs a GWAS of dementia in African-ancestry individuals, identifying risk loci and highlighting differences in gene expression.
