The paper identifies 16 genetic loci interacting with sleep duration to influence glycemic traits in over 480,000 individuals, revealing distinct biological mechanisms for short and long sleep.

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

This study identifies twelve novel blood pressure loci and shows smoking modifies genetic effects on BP through immune-related pathways in over 1 million individuals.

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 12,111 SNPs associated with height from 5.4 million individuals, explaining most common SNP-based heritability and showing ancestry-specific prediction accuracy.
