This paper conducts multi-ancestry transcriptome-wide association studies to identify genes associated with cognitive function, white matter hyperintensity, and Alzheimer's disease using gene expression data from European and African ancestry individuals.

In 159,701 siblings from 17 cohorts, population GWAS overstate direct effects on height, education, smoking, cognition, depressive symptoms and age at first birth; clinical traits mostly agree across models.

This study compares 11 epigenetic aging clocks using DNA methylation data from human tissues and cells, finding differences in CpG characteristics, tissue specificity, and gene network associations.

This study identifies 137 genome-wide significant loci associated with DNA methylation biomarkers of ageing using DNAm and SNP data from over 41,000 individuals.

This study identifies 46 novel genetic loci associated with alcohol consumption and suggests shared genetic mechanisms with neuropsychiatric disorders using GWAS and functional analyses.
