This study identifies 80 genome-wide significant associations for endometriosis and adenomyosis in 1.4 million women, uncovering novel loci and pathways involved in disease mechanisms.

This study investigates sex differences in the genetic pleiotropy between hearing difficulty and brain imaging-derived phenotypes using large-scale GWAS data and multiple analytical methods.

This study identifies 51 anxiety-associated genetic loci from a multi-ancestry GWAS of 1.2 million participants and highlights genetic correlations with other mental and physical health conditions.

The paper investigates the genetic correlation between schizophrenia and household income, finding no significant effect of socioeconomic status on schizophrenia's pleiotropy with health outcomes.

This study investigates genetic correlations between COVID-19 outcomes and anxiety disorders/symptoms using large-scale genomic datasets, finding bidirectional genetic causality and shared loci related to lung function and brain morphology.

The paper examines how assortative mating, participation bias, and socioeconomic status affect polygenic risk scores for behavioral and psychiatric traits using genetic and demographic data.

This study identifies 54 risk loci for hearing loss in adults across multiple cohorts, revealing sex differences, ancestry-specific polygenic risks, and interactions with environmental factors like noise and smoking.

This study analyzes ancestry diversity changes in the Million Veteran Program over time and shows that refined ancestry modeling reduces population stratification in GWAS of height.
