TL;DR: Results from a genome scan of 166 schizophrenia families collected through the Department of Veterans Affairs Cooperative Studies Program are reported, with a definition of affection status included schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, depressed type and families as European American and African American based on the probands' and parents' races based on data collected by interviewing the Probands.

TL;DR: Transancestral fine-mapping data is undertook in 22 086 cases and 42 539 controls of East Asian, European, South Asian, African American and Mexican American descent to provide insight into the mechanisms through which type 2 diabetes association signals are mediated, and suggest future routes to understanding the biology of specific disease susceptibility loci.

TL;DR: The results suggest that when possible, sex‐specific maps should be used in linkage analyses for multipoint linkage analysis of affected sibling pairs when identity‐by‐descent states are incompletely known due to missing parental genotypes and incomplete marker heterozygosity.

TL;DR: This paper conducted a large-scale genome-wide association scan (GWAS) meta-analysis across 51 studies, comprising overall 114 863 individuals (61 094 women and 53 769 men) of European ancestry and 2 623 828 common (minor allele frequency > 0.05) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

TL;DR: A person's lipid profile is influenced by genetic variants and alcohol consumption, but the contribution of interactions between these exposures has not been studied, so gene-alcohol interactions are incorporated into a multiancestry genome-wide association study of levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density cholesterol, and triglycerides.
