The paper identifies 16 genetic loci interacting with sleep duration to influence glycemic traits in over 480,000 individuals, revealing distinct biological mechanisms for short and long sleep.

This paper introduces RareEffect, a method for estimating rare variant effects and improving polygenic risk prediction using UK Biobank whole exome sequencing data.

This study identifies twelve novel blood pressure loci and shows smoking modifies genetic effects on BP through immune-related pathways in over 1 million individuals.

This study identifies 22 novel gene-sleep duration interaction loci for blood pressure traits across 811,405 individuals, highlighting distinct genetic influences of short and long sleep on cardiovascular health.

This study identifies novel genetic loci for BMI, height, and WHRadjBMI in Hispanic/Latino populations and shows the benefits of ancestral diversity in GWAS.

The paper identifies 49 novel blood lipid loci associated with gene-sleep interactions in 126,926 individuals across 5 ancestry groups, with gene-short-sleep interactions explaining 4.25% of triglyceride variance.
