The paper analyzes epigenetic gene variants in African and European populations to find frequency differences, trait associations, and functional impacts.

This study identifies novel genetic variants associated with cardiovascular traits in African and European populations using the UK Biobank, highlighting population-specific genetic architecture.

This study identifies 817 genetic variants in Europeans and 3 in Africans associated with pulmonary function traits, highlighting distinct genetic architecture between populations.

The paper examines how genetic risk factors and gene expression influence longitudinal changes in brain connectivity and dementia progression in Alzheimer's disease.

This paper introduces BiGen, a structural equation model that integrates genetic, neuroimaging, and clinical data to analyze complex brain diseases like Alzheimer's and glioblastoma.

The paper conducts a GWAS to analyze changes in brain connectivity over disease progression in Alzheimer's, identifying genetic associations with structural connectivity changes.
