Vitamin D and Risk of Multiple Sclerosis: A Mendelian Randomization Study

TL;DR: A genetically lowered 25OHD level is strongly associated with increased susceptibility to MS, and whether vitamin D sufficiency can delay, or prevent, MS onset merits further investigation in long-term randomized controlled trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of common genetic determinants of Hemoglobin A1c on type 2 diabetes risk and diagnosis in ancestrally diverse populations: A transethnic genome-wide meta-analysis

Eleanor Wheeler, +258 more
- 12 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: This multiancestry study recommends investigation of the possible benefits of screening for the G6PD genotype along with using HbA1c to diagnose T2D in populations of African ancestry or groups where G 6PD deficiency is common, and investigates the effect of genetic risk-scores comprised of erythrocytic or glycemic variants on incident diabetes prediction and on prevalent diabetes screening performance.

Impact of common genetic determinants of Hemoglobin A1c on type 2 diabetes risk and diagnosis in ancestrally diverse populations: A transethnic genome-wide meta-analysis

Eleanor Wheeler, +214 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of genetic risk-scores comprised of erythrocytic or glycemic variants on incident diabetes prediction and on prevalent diabetes screening performance was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low-frequency and rare exome chip variants associate with fasting glucose and type 2 diabetes susceptibility

Jennifer Wessel, +202 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of coding variation on intermediate traits for type 2 diabetes was explored by analysis of variants on the HumanExome BeadChip in 60,564 non-diabetic individuals and in 16,491 T2D cases and 81,877 controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

The trans-ancestral genomic architecture of glycemic traits

Ji Chen, +478 more
- 31 May 2021 - 
TL;DR: This paper aggregated genome-wide association studies comprising up to 281,416 individuals without diabetes (30% non-European ancestry) for whom fasting glucose, 2-h glucose after an oral glucose challenge, glycated hemoglobin and fasting insulin data were available.
