CNV-association meta-analysis in 191,161 European adults reveals new loci associated with anthropometric traits.
(2017-09-29)
There are few examples of robust associations between rare copy number variants (CNVs) and complex continuous human traits. Here we present a large-scale CNV association meta-analysis on anthropometric traits in up to ...
Evaluating the glucose raising effect of established loci via a genetic risk score.
(2017)
Recent genome-wide association studies have identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with glucose levels. We tested the hypothesis here whether the cumulative effect of glucose raising SNPs, ...
Cohort-specific imputation of gene expression improves prediction of warfarin dose for African Americans.
(2017-11-24)
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies are useful for discovering genotype-phenotype associations but are limited because they require large cohorts to identify a signal, which can be population-specific. Mapping ...
Sex-dimorphic genetic effects and novel loci for fasting glucose and insulin variability.
(Nature Research, 2021-01-05)
Differences between sexes contribute to variation in the levels of fasting glucose and insulin. Epidemiological studies established a higher prevalence of impaired fasting glucose in men and impaired glucose tolerance in ...
Height, Autoimmune Thyroid Disease, and Thyroid Cancer: A Mendelian Randomization Study.
(2023-12)
Background: Increased height has been associated with increased risk of hypothyroidism or thyroid cancer in epidemiological studies. However, the potential causal association between height and hypothyroidism or thyroid ...
