Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal 18 new loci associated with body mass index

Elizabeth K. Speliotes, +374 more
TL;DR: 18 new loci associated with body mass index are identified, one of which includes a copy number variant near GPRC5B, and genes in other newly associated loci may provide new insights into human body weight regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of Genome-wide Association Studies for Neuroticism, and the Polygenic Association With Major Depressive Disorder

Marleen H. M. de Moor, +128 more
- 01 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: This study identifies a novel locus for neuroticism located in a known gene that has been associated with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia in previous studies and shows that neuroticism is influenced by many genetic variants of small effect that are either common or tagged by common variants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low-Pass DNA Sequencing of 1200 Sardinians Reconstructs European Y-Chromosome Phylogeny

Paolo Francalacci, +41 more
- 02 Aug 2013 - 
TL;DR: A putative age for coalescence of ~180,000 to 200,000 years ago is calculated, which is consistent with previous mitochondrial DNA–based estimates and indicates the presumptive timing of coalescence with other human populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correction: Assessing Mitochondrial DNA Variation and Copy Number in Lymphocytes of ~2,000 Sardinians Using Tailored Sequencing Analysis Tools

Jun Ding, +14 more
- 14 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: To the authors' knowledge, this is the largest population analysis to date of mtDNA dynamics, revealing the age-imposed increase in heteroplasmy, the relatively high heritability of copy number, and the association ofcopy number with metabolic traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rare variant genotype imputation with thousands of study-specific whole-genome sequences: implications for cost-effective study designs.

Giorgio Pistis, +25 more
- 01 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the effectiveness of study-specific reference panels to the commonly used 1000 Genomes Project (1000G) reference panels in the isolated Sardinian population and in cohorts of European ancestry including samples from Minnesota (USA).
