Recent years have seen the birth of sociogenomics via the infusion of molecular genetic
data. We chronicle the history of genetics, focusing particularly on post-2005 genome-wide …

BACKGROUND Endometriosis remains a poorly understood disease, despite its high
prevalence and debilitating symptoms. The overlap in symptoms and the increased risk of …

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder
with a major genetic component. Here, we present a genome-wide association study meta …

Impulsivity is a multidimensional heritable phenotype that broadly refers to the tendency to
act prematurely and is associated with multiple forms of psychopathology, including …

Background Observational studies suggest that reproductive factors are associated with
cardiovascular disease, but these are liable to influence by residual confounding. This study …

Genetic inheritance is not the only way parents' genes may affect children. It is also possible
that parents' genes are associated with investments into children's development. We …

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disease regulated by metabolic
disorders, the effective intervention of which depends on diverse phenotypes (eg, insulin …

Background Genetic influences are ubiquitous as virtually all phenotypes and most
exposures typically classified as environmental have been found to be heritable. A …

Common genetic variants explain less variation in complex phenotypes than inferred from
family-based studies, and there is a debate on the source of this 'missing heritability'. We …

The percentage of people without children over their lifetime is approximately 25% in men
and 20% in women. Individual diseases have been linked to childlessness, mostly in …
