This study conducts the largest genetic association analysis of psychotic experiences in the UK Biobank, identifying four genome-wide significant loci and showing shared genetic risk with schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and neurodevelopmental disorders.

This paper uses Mendelian randomization to show smoking increases bipolar disorder risk, but bipolar disorder does not strongly affect smoking behavior.

The paper investigates the role of rare copy number variants (CNVs) in depression, finding that neurodevelopmental CNVs are associated with increased depression risk.

The paper investigates how genetic factors influence participation in a longitudinal study, finding polygenic associations with participation rates and highlighting potential biases in genetic studies due to selection.
