TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 9 genome-wide association studies, including 10,052 breast cancer cases and 12,575 controls of European ancestry, and identified 29,807 SNPs for further genotyping suggests that more than 1,000 additional loci are involved in breast cancer susceptibility.

TL;DR: A collaborative genome-wide association study, including >17,100 advanced AMD cases and >60,000 controls of European and Asian ancestry, identifies 19 loci associated at P < 5 × 10−8, which show enrichment for genes involved in the regulation of complement activity, lipid metabolism, extracellular matrix remodeling and angiogenesis.

TL;DR: The results indicate that, in general, there are only minor differences in the genetic architecture of height between affluent Caucasian populations, especially among men.

Assumption-Free Estimation of Heritability from Genome-Wide Identity-by-Descent Sharing between Full Siblings
Peter M. Visscher,Sarah E. Medland,Manuel A. R. Ferreira,Katherine I. Morley,Gu Zhu,Belinda K. Cornes,Grant W. Montgomery,Nicholas G. Martin +7 more
TL;DR: The application shows that it is feasible to estimate genetic variance solely from within-family segregation and provides an independent validation of previously untestable assumptions, and will allow partitioning of genetic variation into additive and non-additive components.

Sex-differences in heritability of BMI: A comparative study of results from Twin Studies in Eight Countries

Caroline M. van Baal,Jennifer R. Harris +19 more
TL;DR: Results from analyses of opposite sex pairs showed evidence of sex-specific genetic effects suggesting there may be some differences between men and women in the genetic factors that influence variation in BMI, and encourage the continued search for genes of importance to the body composition and the development of obesity.
