Trans-ancestry genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic mechanisms in rheumatoid arthritis

This study conducts a trans-ancestry GWAS of rheumatoid arthritis, identifying 124 loci, 34 novel, and shows improved polygenic risk score performance across populations.

Fine-mapping, trans-ancestral and genomic analyses identify causal variants, cells, genes and drug targets for type 1 diabetes

This study identifies causal variants, cells, genes, and drug targets for type 1 diabetes using large-scale genetic and functional genomic analyses.

Complement component 4 genes contribute sex-specific vulnerability in diverse illnesses

This study identifies C4 genes in the MHC locus as sex-specific contributors to risk for lupus, Sjogrens syndrome, and schizophrenia, with stronger effects in men than women.
