This study identifies 30 genome-wide significant loci for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) using a large GWAS, linking risk to specific brain cell types and shared genetic risk with other psychiatric and non-psychiatric traits.

The paper identifies genetically distinct patient subgroups across diseases by analyzing polygenic risk and pathway convergence.

The paper uses brain cell-type-specific protein interactomes to interpret genetic data in schizophrenia and identifies enriched networks and genes associated with the disease.

This study identifies sex-dependent genetic risk loci shared and specific to mood and psychotic disorders using genome-wide interaction analysis.

The paper compares ten polygenic score methods for psychiatric disorders across multiple cohorts, finding that some methods significantly improve prediction statistics over the baseline PC+T method.

This study identifies a genome-wide significant variant for OC traits and shows shared genetic risk between OC traits and OCD.

SummaryAUC approximates the AUC of polygenic risk scores using only summary statistics from validation datasets, enabling efficient evaluation of PRS models.

The paper finds a genetic association between schizophrenia risk and age at first birth in women, with different genetic correlations in younger and older age groups.

This study identifies 114 genome-wide significant loci for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, with specific subphenotype associations and four genes distinguishing the disorders.

This study compares LDSC and GREML methods for estimating genetic correlation, showing GREML provides higher accuracy, especially in the presence of genetic heterogeneity.
