This study investigates gene-environment interactions in Multiple Sclerosis using UK Biobank data, finding significant interaction between childhood obesity and genetic risk.

This study compares vitamin D levels between people with multiple sclerosis and controls in the UK using remote sampling, finding higher levels in MS patients due to supplementation.

The paper investigates environmental and genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease using UK Biobank data, showing gene-environment interactions and improved prediction with polygenic risk scores.

This paper uses summary-data-based Mendelian randomisation to identify druggable genetic targets for multiple sclerosis, finding 15 genes with causal links between methylation, expression, and disease susceptibility.
