Mosaic Loss of Y chromosome associates with lung function, emphysema and epigenetic aging

This study investigates the association between mosaic loss of Y chromosome (mLOY) and lung function, emphysema, and epigenetic aging in men across multiple cohorts.

Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study improves resolution of genes, pathways and pleiotropy for lung function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

This study performs a multi-ancestry GWAS on lung function and COPD, identifying 559 genes and 29 pathways, and showing genetic risk scores are associated with COPD across ancestries.

Genetic regulation of serum IgA levels and susceptibility to common immune, infectious, kidney, and cardio-metabolic traits

This study identifies 20 genome-wide significant loci associated with serum IgA levels and finds genetic correlations with various immune and metabolic traits.

A system for phenotype harmonization in the NHLBI Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) Program

The paper describes a system for harmonizing phenotype data across multiple studies in the TOPMed program, enabling reproducible and shared phenotype data for over 80 studies.
