TL;DR: This paper identified microglia, immune cells and protein catabolism as relevant genes for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, while identifying and prioritizing previously unidentified genes of potential interest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circular RNAs are depleted of polymorphisms at microRNA binding sites.

TL;DR: Using SNP data from the 1000 Genomes Project, a significant decrease in SNP density was found at miRNA seed sites compared with flanking sequences and random sites, suggesting that many of the predicted miRNA binding sites in circRNAs are functional and under similar selective pressure as miRNAs in mRNAs.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study meta-analysis across 826,690 individuals and identifies 100 independently associated risk variants across 11 osteoarthritis phenotypes, 52 of which have not been associated with the disease before.
