TL;DR: In this article, a collaborative GWAS involving 9,772 cases of European descent collected by 23 research groups working in 15 different countries, they have replicated almost all of the previously suggested associations and identified at least a further 29 novel susceptibility loci.

TL;DR: This study enhances the catalog of multiple sclerosis risk variants and illustrates the value of fine mapping in the resolution of GWAS signals.

TL;DR: A novel inference framework that aims to efficiently capture information on population structure provided by patterns of haplotype similarity and an efficient model-based approach to identify discrete populations using this matrix, which offers advantages over PCA and over existing clustering algorithms in terms of speed, number of separable populations, and sensitivity to subtle population structure.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies and independent data sets genotyped on the Immunochip identified 15 new susceptibility loci, increasing to 36 the number associated with psoriasis in European individuals, and identified five independent signals within previously known loci.

TL;DR: An atlas of worldwide human admixture history, constructed by using genetic data alone and encompassing over 100 events occurring over the past 4000 years, is revealed, revealing admixture to be an almost universal force shaping human populations.
