Epigenetic timing effects on child developmental outcomes: A longitudinal meta-regression of findings from the Pregnancy And Childhood Epigenetics Consortium

This study uses longitudinal meta-regression to examine how DNA methylation effects on child health outcomes vary by timing, finding larger effects in childhood but noisier associations and time-specific signals.

Validation of human telomere length trans-ancestry meta-analysis association signals identifies POP5 and KBTBD6 as novel human telomere length regulation genes

The paper validates novel telomere length regulation genes POP5 and KBTBD6 identified through trans-ancestry GWAS using functional experiments in blood cells.

Large-scale Genetic Analysis Identifies 66 Novel Loci for Asthma

This study identifies 66 novel asthma susceptibility loci through GWAS and finds gene-sex interactions and immune-related candidate genes, suggesting CD52 as a potential therapeutic target.

Gene co-expression networks in whole blood implicate multiple interrelated molecular pathways in obese asthma

The paper uses gene co-expression networks in whole blood to identify molecular pathways associated with obese asthma, finding four modules linked to obesity and enriched for inflammatory pathways.
