Genetic prediction and adverse selection

The paper measures adverse selection in insurance markets using genetic prediction technology and finds severe selection under future prediction levels.

Associations between common genetic variants and income provide insights about the socioeconomic health gradient

This study identifies genetic variants associated with income and shows they correlate with health outcomes and educational attainment.

Resource Profile and User Guide of the Polygenic Index Repository

The paper constructs polygenic indexes for 47 phenotypes across 11 datasets and provides a tool to correct errors-in-variables bias when using PGIs as proxies for the additive SNP factor.

Genome-wide association analyses of risk tolerance and risky behaviors in over 1 million individuals identify hundreds of loci and shared genetic influences

GWAS in over one million individuals identify 611 loci across risk tolerance and risky behaviors, revealing shared genetic architecture and implicating glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission.

Genetic Associations with Subjective Well-Being Also Implicate Depression and Neuroticism

The paper identifies genetic variants associated with subjective well-being, depressive symptoms, and neuroticism using genome-wide association studies and proxy-phenotype analyses.
