This paper identifies novel genetic loci for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy through GWAS and develops a polygenic risk score associated with HCM diagnosis and outcomes.

This paper identifies genetic variants and genes associated with foveal hypoplasia using GWAS and multi-omics data, and establishes a zebrafish model to study the condition.

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 123 genome-wide significant loci associated with foveal pit depth, revealing new biological pathways and genes involved in human foveal development.

The paper investigates the effects of the ADRB2 Thr164Ile variant on lung function, plasma proteome, and other traits using UK Biobank data, finding associations with immune and lipid metabolism pathways but not COPD or asthma.

This paper conducts a genome-wide association study to identify genetic variants associated with varenicline-aided smoking cessation using electronic health records.

This study identifies seven novel genetic loci associated with chronic dry cough and ACEi-induced cough, implicating neurological genes and highlighting potential therapeutic targets.

This study identifies six novel genetic loci associated with BMI change over adulthood using UK Biobank health records, finding lower heritability for BMI change compared to baseline BMI.

This study performs a multi-ancestry GWAS on lung function and COPD, identifying 559 genes and 29 pathways, and showing genetic risk scores are associated with COPD across ancestries.

This study identifies genetic variants associated with smoking initiation and cessation in men of African ancestry, highlighting underrepresented populations in genetic research.

This study identifies genetic associations with ACE inhibitor-induced cough and finds shared genetic factors with chronic dry cough.
