The paper performs whole genome sequence association analysis of fasting glucose and insulin levels in diverse cohorts, identifying 22 significant variants across 16 gene regions, including rare variants.

The paper identifies rare non-coding variants from whole genome sequencing in the TOPMed program, showing they contribute significantly to type 2 diabetes heritability.

The paper identifies genetic loci associated with human cortical structure and finds genetic correlations with neuropsychiatric disorders.

The paper analyzes de novo mutations in 1,465 genomes to show similar mutation rates across ancestries but reduced rates in the Amish population, with environmental factors possibly influencing mutation rates.

The paper identifies 161 genome-wide significant genetic associations for cortical structure traits across 34 brain regions, highlighting key biological pathways and gene functions.

The paper identifies genetic associations with cortical surface area using PCA and GWAS, linking DAAM1 to visual cortex development through mitochondrial pathways and thalamocortical input.
