Genome-wide association meta-analysis in 269,867 individuals identifies new genetic and functional links to intelligence

Jeanne E. Savage, +135 more
- 25 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: A large-scale genetic association study of intelligence identifies 190 new loci and implicates 939 new genes related to neurogenesis, neuron differentiation and synaptic structure, a major step forward in understanding the neurobiology of cognitive function as well as genetically related neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies multiple longevity genes

Joris Deelen, +96 more
TL;DR: A case–control design based on phenotype definitions of individuals surviving at or beyond the age corresponding to the 90th and 99th survival percentile, and two additional loci located in the APOE locus and near GPR78 are reported, revealing a role for tissue-specific expression of multiple genes in longevity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does selenium supplementation affect thyroid function? Results from a randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial in a Danish population

TL;DR: In euthyroid subjects, selenium supplementation minutely and dose-dependently affects thyroid function, when compared with placebo, by decreasing serum TSH and FT4 concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identifying traffic accident black spots with Poisson-Tweedie models.

TL;DR: The identification of black spots for traffic accidents, i.e. locations with accident counts beyond what is usual for similar locations, is identified using spatially and temporally aggregated hospital records from Funen, Denmark using an autoregressive Poisson-Tweedie model.
