Depending on how you count them there's something like 13000 unique traits in the @gwascatalog.bsky.social Most new gwas add to our knowledge of these traits. But some new gwas introduce new traits: VICM = citrullonated and MMP degraded vimentin, a biomarker pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38155185/

Citrullinated and MMP-degraded vimentin is associated with chronic pulmonary diseases and genetic variants in PADI3/PADI4 and CFH in postmenopausal women - PubMed
Citrullinated vimentin has been linked to several chronic and autoimmune diseases, but how citrullinated vimentin is associated with disease prevalence and genetic variants in a clinical setting remai...
