The paper identifies ultra-conserved CpGs associated with ageing-related methylation changes and developmental pathways in the brain.

This study uses whole genome sequencing to identify 18 novel genetic loci associated with plasma fibrinogen levels, including variants more common in African populations and linked to liver-related traits and disease.

The paper identifies heritable antibody epitopes and genetic loci associated with EBV immune responses and viral load control using twin and SNP-genotyped data.

In 159,701 siblings from 17 cohorts, population GWAS overstate direct effects on height, education, smoking, cognition, depressive symptoms and age at first birth; clinical traits mostly agree across models.

This study identifies 13 novel genetic loci associated with endometriosis through a large GWAS meta-analysis and finds genetic links to other pain-related conditions.
