Genetic risk and a primary role for cell-mediated immune mechanisms in multiple sclerosis

Stephen Sawcer, +265 more
- 10 Aug 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a collaborative GWAS involving 9,772 cases of European descent collected by 23 research groups working in 15 different countries, they have replicated almost all of the previously suggested associations and identified at least a further 29 novel susceptibility loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Hana Lango Allen, +344 more
- 14 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that hundreds of genetic variants, in at least 180 loci, influence adult height, a highly heritable and classic polygenic trait, and indicates that GWA studies can identify large numbers of loci that implicate biologically relevant genes and pathways.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies 74 loci associated with educational attainment

Aysu Okbay, +296 more
- 26 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for educational attainment were reported, showing that single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with educational attainment disproportionately occur in genomic regions regulating gene expression in the fetal brain.
