The UK10K project identifies rare variants in health and disease

Klaudia Walter, +241 more
TL;DR: The contribution of rare and low-frequency variants to human traits is largely unexplored as mentioned in this paper, but the contribution of these variants to the human traits has not yet been fully explored.

The genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes

Christian Fuchsberger, +300 more
TL;DR: Large-scale sequencing does not support the idea that lower-frequency variants have a major role in predisposition to type 2 diabetes, but most fell within regions previously identified by genome-wide association studies.

The Association Between Physical Activity in Leisure Time and Leukocyte Telomere Length

TL;DR: Leukocyte telomere length was positively associated with increasing physical activity level in leisure time (P< .001); this association remained significant after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, socioeconomic status, and physical activity at work.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of social status on biological aging as measured by white-blood-cell telomere length

TL;DR: Low SES, in addition to the harmful effects of smoking, obesity and lack of exercise, appears to have an impact on telomere length.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping Genetic Loci That Determine Leukocyte Telomere Length in a Large Sample of Unselected Female Sibling Pairs

TL;DR: This is the first report of loci, mapped in a sample of healthy individuals, that influence mean telomere variation in humans, and significant linkage was observed on chromosome 14.
