This study identifies 53 genetic loci associated with hearing loss, including 15 novel ones, using genome-wide and exome-sequencing data from multiple cohorts.

This study identifies 144 genetic loci associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm and highlights PCSK9 as a therapeutic target through Mendelian Randomization and pre-clinical validation.

The paper examines genetic variation and natural selection at SARS-CoV-2 host genes in diverse populations and links selected variants to clinical phenotypes in COVID-19.

The paper identifies a rare variant that lowers ACE2 expression and reduces COVID-19 risk, and develops a genetic risk score predicting severe disease.

The paper identifies 51 known and 23 novel gene-disease associations using exome sequencing data from 200,000 UK Biobank participants, highlighting high-impact rare variants for 26 diseases and traits.

This study uses exome sequencing of 628,388 individuals to identify genetic variants associated with clonal hematopoiesis and its health outcomes.

This study identifies a rare variant in SLC30A10 associated with elevated ALT/AST and hypermanganesemia symptoms, suggesting broader health impacts beyond diagnosed cases.

The paper describes exome sequencing of 200,643 UK Biobank participants, providing a rich resource of coding variants for genetic and drug discovery research.

The paper performs exome-wide association studies in large cohorts to identify genetic variants linked to human age, finding new candidates and confirming known ones.
