This study identifies 15 common and 9 low-frequency protein-coding variants associated with body fat distribution, implicating novel genes related to lipid homeostasis and type 2 diabetes.

This paper estimates narrow-sense heritability using identity-by-descent information in unrelated individuals and finds that IBD-based methods can capture rare variant contributions but are affected by stratification.

This paper introduces SAPPHO methods to detect pleiotropy in GWAS by modeling shared patterns of genetic associations, finding 16 additional and 124 novel loci in meta-analysis.

This study identifies 47 novel genetic loci associated with PR interval through genome-wide association meta-analysis across multiple populations.

This study identifies 6 new blood pressure loci and 48 genes involved in BP regulation using GWAS and gene expression data from blood and kidney tissues.
