Sex Differences in the role of Additive Genetic Variants in Autism: A Systematic Review

This study reviews sex differences in additive genetic effects related to autism, finding inconclusive evidence but suggesting higher polygenic scores in females without intellectual disability.

Robust inference and widespread genetic correlates from a large-scale genetic association study of human personality

This study identifies 1,257 genetic variants associated with human personality traits using large-scale GWAS and finds widespread genetic correlations with behaviors and life outcomes.

Detecting Non-linear Dependence through Genome Wide Analysis

The paper introduces a statistical method using trigonometry to detect nonlinear genetic relationships between traits, finding nonlinear associations between BMI and psychiatric traits but not between height and psychiatric traits.

Ultra-rare and common genetic variant analysis converge to implicate negative selection and neuronal processes in the aetiology of schizophrenia

This study integrates GWAS and exome data with single-cell gene expression to show common and ultra-rare schizophrenia variants are enriched in brain-expressed, selection-sensitive genes.

Genetic Architecture of 11 Major Psychiatric Disorders at Biobehavioral, Functional Genomic, and Molecular Genetic Levels of Analysis

This study identifies four genetic factors underlying 11 psychiatric disorders and finds limited evidence for a single dimension of genetic risk across them.
