Genome-wide association analyses identify 44 risk variants and refine the genetic architecture of major depression

Naomi R. Wray, +262 more
- 26 Apr 2018 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association meta-analysis of individuals with clinically assessed or self-reported depression identifies 44 independent and significant loci and finds important relationships of genetic risk for major depression with educational attainment, body mass, and schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intelligence and educational achievement

TL;DR: In this paper, a 5-year prospective longitudinal study of 70,000+ English children examined the association between psychometric intelligence at age 11 years and educational achievement in national examinations in 25 academic subjects at age 16.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide meta-analysis of depression identifies 102 independent variants and highlights the importance of the prefrontal brain regions

TL;DR: A genetic meta-analysis of depression found 269 associated genes that highlight several potential drug repositioning opportunities, and relationships with depression were found for neuroticism and smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of genetic associations with serum urate levels by body-mass-index in humans

Jennifer E. Huffman, +120 more
- 26 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: Interactions between body mass index (BMI) and common genetic variants affecting serum urate levels, genome-wide, and regression-type analyses in a non BMI-stratified overall sample suggested a role for N-glycan biosynthesis as a prominent urate-associated pathway in the lean stratum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel genetic associations for blood pressure identified via gene-alcohol interaction in up to 570K individuals across multiple ancestries

Mary F. Feitosa, +299 more
- 18 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: In insights into the role of alcohol consumption in the genetic architecture of hypertension, a large two-stage investigation incorporating joint testing of main genetic effects and single nucleotide variant (SNV)-alcohol consumption interactions is conducted.
