Risk factors underlying brain structure change rate in cognitive decline: Results from genomewide and phenomewide investigations. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION The genetic and clinical factors influencing the rate of brain structure change in cognitive decline remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify genetic variants and risk factors contributing to these changes and explore potential causal relationships.

Archipelago Method for Variant Set Association Test Statistics. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Variant set association tests (VSAT), especially those incorporating rare variants via variant collapse, are invaluable in genetic studies. However, unlike Manhattan plots for single‐variant tests, VSAT statistics lack intrinsic genomic coordinates, hindering visual interpretation.

Optimizing Control Definitions in Opioid Use Disorder Genetic Research Using Electronic Health Records. [PDF]
This study contributes to the broader discussion of control selection in opioid use disorder (OUD) research. By comparing unscreened (“generic”) versus minimally opioid‐exposed controls in phenome‐wide association analyses, generic controls produced larger effect sizes and more associations, though most results overlapped.

Heart rate phase is an indicator of chronotype-relevant circadian shifts associated with human disease: an All of Us Research Program analysis. [PDF]
Abstract figure legend Heart rate phase (HRP) was quantified from wearable‐derived heart rate measurements. Earlier HRP was associated with pregnancy‐associated conditions, while later HRP was associated with addiction and mood, metabolic, and sleep‐related disorders in a phenome‐wide analysis.

A data-driven approach for studying the role of body mass in multiple diseases: a phenome-wide registry-based case-control study in the UK Biobank [PDF]
Background Mendelian randomisation allows for the testing of causal effects in situations where clinical trials are challenging to do. In this hypothesis-free, data-driven phenome-wide association study (PheWAS), we sought to assess possible ...
