The paper uses whole exome sequencing in multi-incident families to identify rare genetic variants associated with multiple sclerosis, finding 12 candidate genes involved in myelination and auto-immunity.

The paper investigates genetic overlaps between neuropsychiatric disorders and insulin-related diseases, finding significant genetic correlations and suggesting potential clusters of disorders with divergent pleiotropic effects.

The paper identifies shared genetic risk factors between OCD, population-based OCS, and insulin signaling traits, suggesting a common etiological mechanism.

This study identifies genetic variants associated with sociability as a continuous trait and finds genetic correlations with schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and autism spectrum disorders.

This study investigates whether social and non-social autism symptom domains are genetically distinct by analyzing genetic correlations between systemizing and autism traits.
