This study identifies 118 candidate causal genes and 21 novel lipid loci on the X chromosome through a multi-ancestry meta-analysis of blood lipid levels, revealing sex-biased effects and pleiotropy with cardiovascular and hormonal traits.

This paper integrates GWAS data with functional genomic datasets to identify regulatory mechanisms and causal genes underlying lipid-related traits.

This study identifies 35 genes associated with circulating lipid levels using rare coding variants from 170,000 exomes across multiple ancestries.

The paper evaluates penetrance and variable expressivity of monogenic metabolic conditions using exome data from 77,184 individuals, finding that monogenic variants have larger effect sizes than polygenic scores but low penetrance.

This study identifies 113 genomic loci for SLE in East Asians, including 46 novel loci, and highlights non-immune cell-related biological mechanisms.

This study identifies 242 genetic loci for glycaemic traits using trans-ancestry meta-analysis, finding 99 novel loci and improved fine-mapping resolution compared to single-ancestry analyses.

This paper identifies 56 new type 2 diabetes loci in 433,540 East Asian individuals through a meta-analysis of GWAS data.
