Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Acta Diabetologica"
DOI: 10.1007/s00592-021-01795-7
Abstract: Education might be causal to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We triangulated cohort and genetic evidence to consolidate the causality between education and T2DM. We obtained observational evidence from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/mp.2017.33
Abstract: The most recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of schizophrenia (SCZ) identified hundreds of risk variants potentially implicated in the disease. Further, novel statistical methodology designed for polygenic architecture revealed more potential risk variants. This can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41437-022-00515-3
Abstract: Genetic data are useful for detecting sudden population declines in species that are difficult to study in the field. Yet this indirect approach has its own drawbacks, including population structure, mutation patterns, and generation overlap.… read more here.
