A genome-wide association meta-analysis of individuals with clinically assessed or self-reported depression identifies 44 independent and significant loci and finds important relationships of genetic risk for major depression with educational attainment, body mass, and schizophrenia.

Genetics and brain imaging studies have identified differences in brain pathways, especially parieto-frontal pathways, that contribute to intelligence differences, and there is also evidence that brain efficiency correlates positively with intelligence.
Complement C3 variant and the risk of age-related macular degeneration.
The common functional polymorphism rs2230199 in the C3 gene, corresponding to the electrophoretic variants C3S and C3F, was strongly associated with age-related macular degeneration in both the English group and the Scottish group and underscores the influence of the complement pathway in the pathogenesis of this disease.

Age-associated cognitive decline.
Age-associated cognitive decline-or normal (non-pathological, normative, usual) cognitive ageing-is an important human experience which differs in extent between individuals, and factors affecting general bodily ageing also influence cognitive functions in old age.
