The paper identifies two divergent structural variation trajectories in HGSOC that impact patient survival and reveals novel candidate driver genes and mtDNA mutations associated with prognosis.

The paper demonstrates the feasibility of conducting clinical recall studies from the FinnGen biobank to collect customized clinical data from participants with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive disorder.

This study conducts a GWAS of preeclampsia and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, identifying 18 genome-wide significant loci, including novel associations with blood pressure and placental function.

Finnish-enriched low-frequency variants, often coding, underlie many GWAS signals across 1,932 register endpoints in 218,792 Finns; a 15-disease meta-analysis with Estonian and UK biobanks adds 30 unreported associations.

The paper introduces a multivariate GWAS framework that identifies functional variants and disease associations by transforming multivariate results into univariate phenotypes for follow-up analysis.
