Hundreds of variants clustered in genomic loci and biological pathways affect human height

Hana Lango Allen, +289 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that hundreds of genetic variants, in at least 180 loci, influence adult height, a highly heritable and classic polygenic trait, revealing patterns with important implications for genetic studies of common human diseases and traits.

Exome-wide association study of plasma lipids in > 300,000 individuals

Dajiang J. Liu, +288 more
- 30 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: It is found that beta-thalassemia trait carriers displayed lower TC and were protected from coronary artery disease (CAD), and only some mechanisms of lowering LDL-C appeared to increase risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D); and TG-lowering alleles involved in hepatic production of TG-rich lipoproteins tracked with higher liver fat, higher risk for T2D, and lower risk for CAD.

New gene functions in megakaryopoiesis and platelet formation

Christian Gieger, +162 more
- 08 Dec 2011 - 
TL;DR: A high-powered meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in up to 66,867 individuals of European ancestry is carried out, identifying 68 genomic loci reliably associated with platelet count and volume mapping to established and putative novel regulators of megakaryopoiesis and platelet formation.
