🚨New preprint from PGC SUI!! @pgcgenetics.bsky.social
GWAS meta-analyses of suicidal ideation, attempt, death, and behavior across >50 cohorts identify 77 loci (59 novel), implicate subcortical brain regions, and show suicidality phenotypes are genetically distinct.

Genome-wide association studies identify 77 loci for suicidality and provide novel biological insights
Suicidality is heritable and a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, yet its biological etiology remains largely elusive. We conducted multi-ancestry genome-wide association study meta-anal...

US military budget: $850 billion
US National Institutes of Health indirect costs: $9 billion
That they are so focused on cutting the budget of the latter says everything.

Happy to share the preprint of our GWAS of DSM-defined nicotine dependence! Thanks to all my coauthors for their hard work on this, especially co-first author Dongbing Lai & my fellow PGC SUD analysts for their many helpful suggestions.
