This study uses whole genome sequencing to identify 18 novel genetic loci associated with plasma fibrinogen levels, including variants more common in African populations and linked to liver-related traits and disease.

This study identifies 48 genetic variants associated with handedness using a large GWAS, highlighting polygenic nature and genetic links to neuropsychiatric traits.

This study identifies 5,552 blood-cell trait-variant associations across 746,667 individuals from 5 global populations, including 71 novel loci and ancestry-specific variants not found in European ancestry populations.

This study identifies 5,106 new genetic variants associated with blood cell traits using large-scale GWAS, highlighting the polygenic and monogenic basis of hematopoiesis.

This study identifies genetic loci associated with macronutrient intake and links them to health outcomes using GWAS in over 235,000 individuals.

GWAS in over one million individuals identify 611 loci across risk tolerance and risky behaviors, revealing shared genetic architecture and implicating glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission.
