Population-scale immune multiome atlas reveals regulatory disease mechanisms.

Most disease-associated genetic variants lie in non-coding regions1,2, yet mechanistic insights are limited by the lack of an empirical framework for characterizing the molecular consequences of regulatory variation. Single-cell molecular quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping3,4 connects variants to gene regulation bu...

Multiancestry genome-wide association and multiomics analyses elucidate spatiocellular features of multiple sclerosis genetics

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by demyelination disseminated in space and time. Here we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using 688 MS cases and 205,199 controls from the Japanese population and identified significant associations in...
