Chromosome 22 Copy Number Variants Linked to Traits in General Population
A phenome-wide association study and follow-up analyses found 17 continuous or binary traits that are associated with chromosome 22q11.2 CNVs.
Tobacco, Alcohol Use Contributors Uncovered With Multi-Ancestry GWAS
Researchers unearthed more than 3,800 tobacco or alcohol use-related variants using data for 3.4 million participants from four ancestry groups.
Non-Random Mating May Exaggerate Findings of Pleiotropy in Population Genetic Studies
Researchers saw signs that cross-trait assortative mating can explain a range of genetic correlation events, leading to overestimates of the contributions of genetic factors.
Madagascar Population History Suggests Human Expansion Ties to Large Vertebrate Loss
Researchers retraced the ancestry of Malagasy populations, using shared sequence segments to untangle ancestry groups and expansion events coinciding with demographic shifts.
