The paper develops a methylation profile score to predict cortisol response to stress and validates it across tissues.

This study uses Mendelian randomisation and colocalisation to show CD40 protein levels are not causally linked to depression, but SLC12A5 at the CD40 locus may contribute to depression risk through brain-expressed potassium chloride co-transporter effects.

This study examines the short-term psychosocial effects of receiving glaucoma polygenic risk scores, finding limited knowledge but small reductions in anxiety and stress, with higher-risk individuals showing more negative emotions.

This paper reviews and meta-analyzes DNA methylation's association with cortisol response to acute stress in humans, finding mixed evidence with some support for NR3C1 in infants.

This study identifies genetic factors underlying personality meta-traits stability and plasticity and their links to psychopathology using GWAS and structural equation modeling.

The paper constructs a Poly-Methylomic Profile Score (PMPS) for schizophrenia using DNA methylation data and finds it is elevated in schizophrenia cases compared to controls, but not associated with bipolar disorder or symptom severity.

The paper analyzes rare variants to uncover mutation rate heterogeneity in the human genome, identifying genomic features that influence mutation rates.

This paper reviews genetic overlaps between mood disorders and cardio-metabolic diseases, identifying 24 shared genes and pathways involved in both conditions.
