Does the influence of low body-mass index on diagnosis complicate genetic studies of the role of cardiometabolic traits in liability to anorexia nervosa? Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder for which the underlying aetiology remains mostly uncharacterised. Large-scale genetic studies of AN suggest a relationship between AN liability and cardiom...

Genomic network analysis characterizes genetic architecture and identifies trait-specific biology Pervasive genetic overlap across human complex traits necessitates developing multivariate methods that can parse pleiotropic and trait-specific genetic signals. Here, we introduce Genomic Network Ana...
