Enormous progress has been made in the last half-century in the management of diseases
closely integrated with excess body weight, such as hypertension, adult-onset diabetes and …

INTRODUCTION Brain disorders may exhibit shared symptoms and substantial
epidemiological comorbidity, inciting debate about their etiologic overlap. However, detailed …

We introduce an approach to identify disease-relevant tissues and cell types by analyzing
gene expression data together with genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary …

Many genetic variants influence complex traits by modulating gene expression, thus altering
the abundance of one or multiple proteins. Here we introduce a powerful strategy that …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of variants robustly
associated with complex traits. However, the biological mechanisms underlying these …

Recent work has demonstrated that some functional categories of the genome contribute
disproportionately to the heritability of complex diseases. Here we analyze a broad set of …

For over a century, psychiatric disorders have been defined by expert opinion and clinical
observation. The modern DSM has relied on a consensus of experts to define categorical …

Abstract Narrow-sense heritability (h 2) is an important genetic parameter that quantifies the
proportion of phenotypic variance in a trait attributable to the additive genetic variation …

Self-grooming is a complex innate behaviour with an evolutionarily conserved sequencing
pattern and is one of the most frequently performed behavioural activities in rodents. In this …

Disease variants identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) tend to overlap
with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), but it remains unclear whether this overlap is …
