The paper conducts a genetic analysis of immune biomarkers across pregnancy timepoints, identifying heritable and genome-wide significant associations and highlighting timepoint-specific and pregnancy-unique findings.

The paper identifies TAOK2 as a regulator of primary cilium length in 16p11.2 CNV carriers, showing opposing effects in deletion and duplication cases.

The paper examines sex biases in gene expression across brain regions and links them to sex differences in autism and Alzheimer's disease prevalence.

This study shows that oncogenic MAPK pathway activation in Schwann cells causes congenital and progressive neuropathy in mice, linking RASopathy mutations to peripheral nerve dysfunction.

The paper investigates how combinations of genes in the 16p11.2 and 22q11.2 CNVs contribute to neurobehavioral traits by comparing pairwise and single-gene effects in GWAS data.

The paper examines sex-differentiated genetic effects across neuropsychiatric and behavioral traits using GWAS summary statistics and finds small, polygenic sex differences with enriched neuron-related genes.

The paper integrates genetic, transcriptomic, and clinical data to identify CNV gene associations with brain-related and health traits, finding pleiotropy and multigenicity in CNV biology.

The paper identifies cis-regulatory chromatin contacts in neural cells and links them to genetic variants associated with complex neurological disorders.
