The paper uses Mendelian Randomization to evaluate GLP1R expression and CETP concentration on 396 diseases, finding 58 protective and 34 risk effects for GLP1R, with notable risks for neonatal health and age-related diseases.

This GWAS identifies 106 genetic variants associated with occupational status and shows genetic and environmental factors contribute to intergenerational status transmission and health outcomes.

In 159,701 siblings from 17 cohorts, population GWAS overstate direct effects on height, education, smoking, cognition, depressive symptoms and age at first birth; clinical traits mostly agree across models.

This paper shows that controlling for heritable covariates in models with polygenic scores can introduce bias due to collider conditioning, leading to spurious associations.

This study identifies 370 genetic loci associated with age at first sex and birth, linking them to externalising behaviour and reproductive biology.

This study analyzes 31,396 individuals from six countries to show that genetic effects on fertility vary across time and space, with no shared genetic effects across environments.
