This study identifies genetic signals associated with age at menarche, highlights genes involved in pubertal development, and links reproductive timing to later life disease risk.

This study identifies 43 genomic loci associated with reproductive success in 785,604 individuals, showing ongoing natural selection at the FADS locus.

The paper identifies genetic variants influencing DNA methylation in blood and shows their associations with complex traits and diseases, but finds limited direct causality.

This study investigates the pleiotropic effects of SERPINA1 Z allele heterozygosity on various phenotypes using UK Biobank data, finding associations with height, gall bladder disease, heart disease, and lung function.

The paper identifies SNPs with sex-specific effects on lung function traits using UK Biobank data, finding a significant interaction at rs7697189 near HHIP.

This study identifies genetic loci associated with macronutrient intake and links them to health outcomes using GWAS in over 235,000 individuals.

This study identifies genetic effects on birth weight and their impact on cardio-metabolic traits, distinguishing fetal and maternal contributions.

This paper conducts a genome-wide association study of mitochondrial DNA copy number in two cohorts, identifying potential loci and highlighting the need for larger studies.

This study identifies 139 common and 4 rare genetic variants associated with type 2 diabetes through GWAS and integrates gene expression and epigenomic data to highlight potential functional genes and regulatory mechanisms.

The paper identifies gene targets for brain-related traits using transcriptomic and methylomic data from blood, finding strong correlations between genetic effects in brain and blood tissues.

This study identifies maternal genetic variants associated with offspring birth weight using GWAS and SEM, showing independent effects from fetal genetics.

This study investigates the genetic contributions to gestational weight gain, finding that maternal common variants explain about 20% of variability, while fetal variants have a minor role.

The paper uses multivariate genetic models to show how genetic influences on social-communication difficulties change over time, with distinct factors at different developmental stages.

The paper identifies 35 novel and 50 known imprinted loci using DNA methylation and GWAS data, showing parent-of-origin effects that enable parental allelic transmission modeling in unrelated individuals.

This study identifies genetic loci associated with early childhood growth phenotypes and links them to later adiposity traits, suggesting potential targets for obesity prevention.
