This study maps MHC-pQTL across ancestries, identifying genetic associations with plasma proteins and linking HLA genes to immune-related traits.

This study identifies 19 CNV associations with anthropometric and cardiometabolic traits in 94,730 Chinese adults, expanding ancestry diversity in CNV research.

This study examines polygenic scores for schizophrenia and major depression in Chinese adults, finding associations with various traits and highlighting ancestry-specific genetic correlations.

This study performs a large-scale genetic analysis of 104 pregnancy phenotypes in 39,194 Chinese women, identifying 407 trait-locus associations and uncovering novel genetic insights into pregnancy-related traits.

This study identifies 128 BP-associated loci in Chinese adults through GWAS and shows causal links between BP traits and CVD using Mendelian randomisation.

The paper investigates historical coronavirus selection events using genetic data from China Kadoorie Biobank and UK Biobank, finding enrichment of virus-interacting genes in East Asians but not in UKB.

This study identifies genetic variants associated with alcohol flushing in East Asian populations and suggests self-reported flushing can be used as an instrumental variable for alcohol intake.

The paper constructs a high-resolution haplotype-resolved reference panel from the China Kadoorie Biobank study and demonstrates its superior performance in imputing microarray data compared to existing panels.

The paper reports genotyping and population structure findings from the China Kadoorie Biobank, revealing relatedness, consanguinity, and population movement patterns.

This paper improves genetic scores for adiposity traits in East Asian populations by using trans-ancestry meta-analysis, increasing variance explained compared to European-derived scores.

This paper identifies 56 new type 2 diabetes loci in 433,540 East Asian individuals through a meta-analysis of GWAS data.
