The paper identifies genes associated with obesity risk loci by integrating genetic and transcriptomic data from blood and brain tissues.

This study identifies 17 genetic loci associated with sleep duration and lipid levels, offering potential druggable targets for dyslipidemia in individuals with sleep disturbances.

This study performs a multi-ancestry GWAS on lung function and COPD, identifying 559 genes and 29 pathways, and showing genetic risk scores are associated with COPD across ancestries.

The paper estimates heritability for height and BMI using whole-genome sequence data and finds that rare variants contribute significantly to the missing heritability.

This study identifies eight novel genetic signals associated with asthma-COPD overlap through a genome-wide association analysis involving multiple cohorts.

The paper identifies novel genetic loci associated with blood pressure that interact with sleep duration across multiple ancestries.

The paper evaluates methods to handle missing lifestyle data in gene-by-lifestyle interaction meta-analyses and recommends the Safe Approach for accuracy.

This study identifies three new genetic loci associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and confirms 11 previously reported ones, highlighting mTOR signaling and mitotic spindle-assembly genes in disease susceptibility.
