The paper identifies genetic factors associated with balance in the elderly through GWAS and multimodal transcriptomic analysis of otolithic organs.

This paper identifies common-variant associations with selective IgA deficiency using GWAS meta-analysis and pleiotropy-based methods, finding 26 variants outside the MHC and highlighting polygenic and immune-related biology.

The paper introduces a nonparametric test for detecting genetic similarity between traits using GWAS summary statistics, showing improved performance in small-sample contexts compared to existing methods.

This paper introduces Flexible cFDR, a method that improves GWAS discovery by using auxiliary data from arbitrary distributions to control the false discovery rate and increase sensitivity.
