Emerging applications of genome-editing technology to examine functionality of GWAS-associated variants for complex traits.
(2018-07-01)
Over the last decade, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have propelled the discovery of thousands of loci associated with complex diseases. The focus is now turning toward the function of these association signals, ...

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 ...
Meta-analysis of up to 622,409 individuals identifies 40 novel smoking behaviour associated genetic loci.
(Springer Nature, 2019-01-07)
Smoking is a major heritable and modifiable risk factor for many diseases, including cancer, common respiratory disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Fourteen genetic loci have previously been associated with smoking ...
