The paper describes the MoBaPsychGen pipeline for quality controlling and imputing genotyping data from the MoBa cohort, identifying extensive family relationships across 207,569 individuals.

This study identifies 118 new genetic loci associated with Alzheimer's disease across diverse ancestries and discovers 48 novel risk loci, including those enriched in neuronal cell types.

The paper conducts GWAS on brain volumes, identifies genetic loci, and develops polygenic scores with cross-ancestry predictive ability and causal links to neuropsychiatric disorders.

This paper performs a large meta-analysis of GWAS in dementia with Lewy bodies, identifying sex-specific genetic risk signals and highlighting the need for larger cohorts.

A genome-wide association study of 69,369 schizophrenia cases and 236,642 controls identifies 270 risk loci, prioritizes 130 genes, and links common and rare risk variants to neuronal synaptic biology.

The paper investigates the association between predicted brain C4A expression and cognitive performance and brain imaging measures in the UK Biobank, finding significant negative associations and structural mediation effects.

This study identifies seven novel genetic loci for Alzheimer's disease using a large GWAS and highlights microglia and immune pathways as key contributors to disease pathology.

This study finds a genetic link between schizophrenia polygenic risk and psychotic symptoms, particularly delusions, in Alzheimer's disease through a meta-analysis of 11 cohort studies.

This study identifies 9 novel genetic loci and 215 potential causative genes associated with Alzheimer's disease risk through a large genome-wide association analysis.

The paper identifies 25 genetic loci associated with subcortical brain structure volumes in over 40,000 individuals, revealing novel biology and potential drug targets.
