Sex-Specific Genetic Architecture and Comorbidities of Alcohol Use Behaviors

This study identifies sex-specific genetic loci and correlations for alcohol use behaviors and their comorbidities using genome-wide association studies.

Genomic insights into substance use and disinhibitory disorders

This study identifies 1,294 genomic regions and 961 effector genes associated with externalizing disorders, revealing neural mechanisms and polygenic predictors of variance in these conditions.

Guidelines for Evaluating the Comparability of Down-Sampled GWAS Summary Statistics

This paper evaluates how down-sampling affects GWAS summary statistics and recommends reporting specific analyses to support their use.

Genome-Wide Association Studies of Coffee Intake in UK/US Participants of European Ancestry Uncover Gene-Cohort Influences

This study compares GWAS results of coffee intake from 23andMe and UK Biobank, finding discrepancies in genetic correlations with health traits and highlighting cultural differences in gene-cohort influences.
