Genetic association study of psychotic experiences in UK Biobank

This study conducts the largest genetic association analysis of psychotic experiences in the UK Biobank, identifying four genome-wide significant loci and showing shared genetic risk with schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Smoking and the risk for bipolar disorder: causal evidence from a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study

This paper uses Mendelian randomization to show smoking increases bipolar disorder risk, but bipolar disorder does not strongly affect smoking behavior.

Differences in Genetic Liability for Insomnia and Hypersomnia in Bipolar Disorder Subtypes

This study finds that genetic risk scores for insomnia and sleep duration differ between bipolar I and II subtypes, suggesting distinct genetic liabilities.

The molecular genetics of participation in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children

The paper investigates how genetic factors influence participation in a longitudinal study, finding polygenic associations with participation rates and highlighting potential biases in genetic studies due to selection.

Genetic Architecture of Subcortical Brain Structures in Over 40,000 Individuals Worldwide

The paper identifies 25 genetic loci associated with subcortical brain structure volumes in over 40,000 individuals, revealing novel biology and potential drug targets.
