Investigating shared genetic architecture between pigmentation genetics and Parkinson's Disease

Cristina L. Abbatangelo, Brendan A Newton, Frank R. Wendt, Esteban Juan Parra

The paper examines genetic links between pigmentation traits and Parkinson's Disease using LDSC, PRS, MR, and multi-trait analysis, finding limited shared variation and no causal relationships.

Functional and molecular characterization of suicidality factors using phenotypic and genome-wide data

Andrea Quintero Reis, Brendan A Newton, Ronald C. Kessler…·Frank R. Wendt

The paper compares two measures of suicidality using genome-wide data, finding that an aggregate phenotype has higher heritability and better predictive power than a genetically derived S-factor.
