Identification of type 2 diabetes loci in 433,540 East Asian individuals

Cassandra N. Spracklen, +132 more
- 11 Jun 2020 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association study data from 77,418 individuals of East Asian ancestry with type 2 diabetes identifies novel variants associated with increased risk of type 2abetes in both East Asian and European populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in East Asian-ancestry populations identifies four new loci for body mass index

Wanqing Wen, +108 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of associations between BMI and ∼2.5 million genotyped or imputed single nucleotide polymorphisms among 86 757 individuals of Asian ancestry, followed by in silico and de novo replication among 7488-47 352 additional Asian-ancestry individuals finds the association of BMI with rs2237892, rs671 and rs12229654 was significantly stronger among men than among women.

Identification of type 2 diabetes loci in 433,540 East Asian individuals

Cassandra N. Spracklen, +111 more
- 28 Jun 2019 - 
TL;DR: The largest meta-analysis of East Asian individuals to identify new genetic associations and provide insight into T2D pathogenesis is performed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Copy number variations in East-Asian population and their evolutionary and functional implications

TL;DR: CNVS/CNVRs identified in this study will be valuable resources for studying human genome diversity and its association with disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene-based copy number variation study reveals a microdeletion at 12q24 that influences height in the Korean population.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that there would be CNV regions (CNVRs) associated with height nearby genes from the GWASs known to affect height are tested and it is suggested that CNVs are potentially important in determining height and may contribute to height variation in human populations.
