Researchers uncovered 63 new or known risk loci for age-related macular degeneration using data for ancestrally diverse individuals enrolled in half a dozen prior studies.
Problem Drinking Contributors Unearthed Using Mendelian Randomization Study
Researchers narrowed in on cortical proteins and brain cell type-related genes with apparent ties to alcohol use disorders using GWAS and post-mortem multiomic profiling.
