Forensic DNA Phenoty** refers to the prediction of appearance traits of unknown sample
donors, or unknown deceased (missing) persons, directly from biological materials found at …

Forensic DNA profiling currently allows the identification of persons already known to
investigating authorities. Recent advances have produced new types of genetic markers …

General cognitive function is a prominent and relatively stable human trait that is associated
with many important life outcomes. We combine cognitive and genetic data from the …

Vitamin D deficiency is a candidate risk factor for a range of adverse health outcomes. In a
genome-wide association study of 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentration in 417,580 …

Liability to alcohol dependence (AD) is heritable, but little is known about its complex
polygenic architecture or its genetic relationship with other disorders. To discover loci …

Migraine is a debilitating neurological disorder affecting around one in seven people
worldwide, but its molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. There is some debate …

The diathesis–stress theory for depression states that the effects of stress on the depression
risk are dependent on the diathesis or vulnerability, implying multiplicative interactive effects …

We present an approximate conditional and joint association analysis that can use summary-
level statistics from a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and …

Many human proteins contain domains that vary in size or copy number because of variable
numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs) in protein-coding exons. However, the relationships of …

Telomere length (TL) has been associated with aging and mortality, but individual
differences are also influenced by genetic factors, with previous studies reporting heritability …
