Associations of Socioeconomic Disparities With Buccal DNA-Methylation Measures Of Biological Aging

Laurel Raffington, Ted Schwaba, M. Aikins, David Richter, Gert G. Wagner, K. Paige Harden, Daniel W. Belsky, Elliot M. Tucker–Drob

The paper tests if socioeconomic gradients observed in blood DNA methylation measures can be reproduced using buccal-cell DNA, finding smaller effect sizes and lower cross-tissue correlations.

Genome-wide association analyses of risk tolerance and risky behaviors in over 1 million individuals identify hundreds of loci and shared genetic influences

Richard Karlsson Linnér, Pietro Biroli, Edward L. Kong, S. Fleur W. Meddens, Robbee Wedow, Mark Alan Fontana, Maël P. Lebreton, Abdel Abdellaoui, Anke R. Hammerschlag, Michel Guillaume Nivard, Aysu Okbay, Cornelius A. Rietveld, Pascal N. Timshel, Stephen P. Tino, Maciej Trzaskowski, , Jonathan P. Beauchamp

GWAS in over one million individuals identify 611 loci across risk tolerance and risky behaviors, revealing shared genetic architecture and implicating glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission.
