This study identifies transcriptomic and neurological mechanisms of stuttering using GWAS, TWAS, MR, and neuroimaging analyses of large datasets.

This study identifies 86 T2D GWAS associations in 125,000 admixed Mexican adults, including 21 novel signals, and highlights the role of common regulatory variation in the endocrine pancreas.

This paper develops and validates multi-ancestry polygenic risk scores for type 2 diabetes prediction and complications across diverse populations.

The paper identifies ancestry-specific eQTL effects in Hispanic/Latino and African American populations, showing how local ancestry influences gene expression and disease risk.

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

This study identifies 22 novel gene-sleep duration interaction loci for blood pressure traits across 811,405 individuals, highlighting distinct genetic influences of short and long sleep on cardiovascular health.

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 identifies 1,289 genetic signals for type 2 diabetes in 2.5 million individuals, revealing distinct clusters linked to vascular complications and highlighting ancestry-specific genetic risk factors.

The paper demonstrates that TOPMed imputation improves the identification of rare variants associated with type 2 diabetes in Latino populations, leading to novel associations and better polygenic scores.

This study identifies 277 T2D loci using diverse populations and improves fine-mapping to assess causal genes and mechanisms, enhancing clinical translation.

This study identifies genetic loci associated with SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility and disease severity using GWAS and colocalization, and links them to eQTLs in various tissues.

This study identifies genetic variants associated with body fat distribution traits in Hispanics/Latinos and finds ancestry-specific associations.

This paper identifies 56 new type 2 diabetes loci in 433,540 East Asian individuals through a meta-analysis of GWAS data.

This study conducts a GWAS on QRS duration in Hispanic/Latino populations, identifying two new loci and confirming most previously known SNPs.
