Background: Delineating the shared genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes with muscle mass and function and frailty is essential for unraveling the common etiology and developing holistic therapeutic strategies for these co-existing conditions.

Methods: In this genome-wide pleiotropic association study, we performed multi-level pairwise trait pleiotropic analyses using genome-wide association study summary statistics from up to 461,026 European ancestry individuals to dissect the shared genetic factors and causal relationships of type 2 diabetes and seven glycemic traits with four muscle mass- and function-related phenotypes and the frailty index.

Results: We first identified 27 pairs with significant genetic correlations through the linkage disequilibrium score regression and high-definition likelihood analysis.

The Bipolar-Schizophrenia Network for Intermediate Phenotypes (B-SNIP) created psychosis Biotypes based on neurobiological measurements in a multi-ancestry sample. These Biotypes cut across DSM diagnoses of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder with psychosis. Two recently developed post hoc ancestry adjustment methods of Polygenic Risk Scores (PRSs) generate Ancestry-Adjusted PRSs (AAPRSs), which allow for PRS analysis of multi-ancestry samples.

The investigation of new strategies to prevent acute viral respiratory infections(ARI) is essential for reducing the global disease burden. Genetic association studies are valuable in identifying the susceptibility risk factors for diseases, and genetic evidence can expedite drug approval. To date, few studies have been conducted to reveal the susceptibility risks of ARI and identify novel drug targets through multi-omics genetic association analysis.

Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecological malignancy in developed countries, with incidence rates continuing to rise globally. However, the precise mechanisms underlying EC pathogenesis remain largely unexplored. This study aims to prioritize genes associated with EC by leveraging multi-omics data through various bioinformatic methods.

Background: The incidence rate and mortality of cervical cancer rank the fourth in the global female cancer. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) always plays an important role in tumor progression, and fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) works as the m6A demethylase.

Aims: Our study aimed to narrate the biological function and potential mechanisms for FTO in cervical cancer malignancy.
