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

Integrative approaches for large-scale transcriptome-wide association studies.

Alexander Gusev, +29 more
- 01 Mar 2016 - 
TL;DR: A powerful strategy that integrates gene expression measurements with summary association statistics from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify genes whose cis-regulated expression is associated with complex traits is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of shared heritability in common disorders of the brain

Verneri Anttila, +720 more
- 22 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, in the general population, the personality trait neuroticism is significantly correlated with almost every psychiatric disorder and migraine, and it is shown that both psychiatric and neurological disorders have robust correlations with cognitive and personality measures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic analysis of over 1 million people identifies 535 new loci associated with blood pressure traits.

Evangelos Evangelou, +341 more
- 17 Sep 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the largest genetic association study of blood pressure traits (systolic, diastolic and pulse pressure) to date in over 1 million people of European ancestry was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Influence of Age and Sex on Genetic Associations with Adult Body Size and Shape: A Large-Scale Genome-Wide Interaction Study

Thomas W. Winkler, +438 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed meta-analyses of 114 studies with genome-wide chip and/or Metabochip data by the Genetic Investigation of Anthropometric Traits (GIANT) Consortium.
