Genetic basis of partner choice

This study performs the first GWAS on a latent partner choice index using 206,617 individuals, identifying genetic correlates and solutions to reduce assortative mating biases in genetic studies.

Correcting for volunteer bias in GWAS uncovers novel genetic variants and increases heritability estimates

This paper develops WGWAS to correct volunteer bias in GWAS, uncovering novel genetic variants and increasing heritability estimates for specific phenotypes.

Overcoming Attenuation Bias in Regressions using Polygenic Indices: A Comparison of Approaches

This paper compares two methods to reduce measurement error in polygenic indices by simulating and validating their performance on educational attainment and height data.

Genetic correlates of socio-economic status influence the pattern of shared heritability across mental health traits

The paper investigates how genetic correlates of socio-economic status affect shared heritability across mental health traits using genome-wide association summary statistics.

Childhood socioeconomic status moderates genetic predisposition for peak smoking

The paper examines how childhood socioeconomic status interacts with genetic risk to influence peak cigarette consumption in adulthood.
