However, limited sample sizes have hindered the discovery of variants for uncommon and rare diseases. Here, we introduce KGWAS, a novel geometric deep learning method that leverages a massive functional knowledge graph across variants and genes to improve detection power in small-cohort GWASs significantly.

- Social inequalities in child mental health are a significant public health issue, and this study aims to examine these inequalities over time across various countries.
- Using longitudinal data from eight birth cohorts in twelve countries, the research tracks children's socio-economic circumstances and mental health outcomes from ages two to eighteen.
- Results indicate that children from poorer socio-economic backgrounds generally show higher levels of internalising and externalising problems, although some cohorts exhibit minimal inequalities in certain age groups.
