GWAS

By uncovering genetic factors behind blood and urine biomarkers, researchers came up with polygenic scores related to biomarker status and related disease risk.

The findings further suggested the gut microbiome could influence conditions like inflammatory bowel disease and serve as therapeutic targets.

The researchers developed an approach to mitigate the effects of misreporting or longitudinal changes in drinking behavior.

In a genome-wide association study of Takayasu arteritis, researchers uncovered disease-linked loci both within and beyond the HLA region.

The study, which focused on Europeans, also highlighted a role for enhancers during embryonic development in determining facial features.
