TL;DR: The results show that TAAR5 genotype variation influences human odor responses and highlight that sequence diversity in canonical OR genes can lead to enhanced olfactory ability, in contrast to the view that greater tolerance for mutations in the human OR repertoire leads to diminished function.

TL;DR: Studying patterns of assortative mating and anticipation, it appears increased polygenic risk is contributed by affected individuals who married into the family, resulting in an increasing genetic risk over generations, which may explain the observation of anticipation in mood disorders.

TL;DR: Spectra and kinetic rate constants were determined for all these intermediates using a global analysis which showed that the spectra of the human intermediates are remarkably similar to bovine intermediates.

TL;DR: None of the seven GWAS of lung cancer in Caucasian populations provided statistically significant evidence for an association between rs2352028 and lung cancer risk in never smokers, even when combined, and the association was not significant in the overall meta-analysis pooling results.
