TL;DR: These data provide the most comprehensive survey of genetic risk within Parkinson's disease to date, providing a biological context for these risk factors, and showing that a considerable genetic component of this disease remains unidentified.

TL;DR: GWAS informed by age of onset can identify subtype-specific risk variants, which can help to understand differences in pathophysiology between COA and AOA and so can be informative for drug development.

TL;DR: This paper conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of educational attainment (EA) in a sample of ~3 million individuals and identified 3,952 approximately uncorrelated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

TL;DR: In this article , the authors show that common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are predicted to collectively explain 40-50% of phenotypic variation in human height, but identifying the specific variants and associated regions requires huge sample sizes.

TL;DR: This investigation of the transatlantic slave trade is broad in scope in terms of both datasets and analyses, establishes genetic links between individuals in the Americas and populations across Atlantic Africa, yielding a more comprehensive understanding of the African roots of peoples of the Americas.
