This paper develops a polygenic score for smoking persistence and finds it is associated with earlier or later cessation ages across diverse populations.

The paper develops polygenic risk scores to stratify lung cancer and smoking cessation risk, showing significant odds ratios in diverse populations and planning clinical trials to evaluate interventions.

The paper uses structural equation modeling on UK Biobank data to investigate the genetic basis of neuroticism, finding that significant variants are associated with brain-expressed genes and fear-related behaviors in mice.

This study identifies genetic variants associated with antisocial behavior through a genome-wide association meta-analysis, finding significant links to FOXP2 and correlations with multiple health and behavioral traits.

This study conducts a genome-wide association meta-analysis of childhood aggression across multiple raters, instruments, and ages, identifying genetic correlations with various traits but no genome-wide significant SNPs.
