Response by Borges et al to Editorial Regarding Article, "Role of Adiponectin in Coronary Heart Disease Risk: A Mendelian Randomization Study".

TL;DR: The findings are not supportive of the hypothesis that higher adiponectin levels protect against CHD development, and the use of weak genetic instruments cannot only reduce precision, but also introduce bias in Mendelian randomization estimates.

TL;DR: The COVID-19 pandemic may be associated with greater persistence of emotional and behavioural difficulties after the age of 2, and this could lead to older children having pandemic difficulty scores higher than would be expected from pre-pandemic trajectories.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of self-reported chronotype within the UKBiobank cohort identifies 12 new genetic loci that implicate known components of the circadian clock machinery and point to previously unstudied genetic variants and candidate genes that might modulate core circadian rhythms or light-sensing pathways.
