Modulation of genetic associations with serum urate levels by body-mass-index in humans

Jennifer E. Huffman, +120 more
- 26 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: Interactions between body mass index (BMI) and common genetic variants affecting serum urate levels, genome-wide, and regression-type analyses in a non BMI-stratified overall sample suggested a role for N-glycan biosynthesis as a prominent urate-associated pathway in the lean stratum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association analyses identify 18 new loci associated with serum urate concentrations

Anna Köttgen, +250 more
- 01 Feb 2013 - 
TL;DR: New candidate genes for serum urate concentration highlight the importance of metabolic control of urate production and excretion, which may have implications for the treatment and prevention of gout.

Genome-wide association analyses identify 18 new loci associated with serum urate concentrations

Anna Koettgen, +224 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified and replicated 28 genome-wide significant loci in association with serum urate concentrations (18 new regions in or near TRIM46, INHBB, SFMBT1, TMEM171, VEGFA, BAZ1B, PRKAG2, STC1, HNF4G, A1CF, ATXN2, UBE2Q2, IGF1R, NFAT5, MAF, HLF, ACVR1B-ACVRL1 and B3GNT4).

Genome-wide association and large-scale follow up identifies 16 new loci influencing lung function

María Soler Artigas, +192 more
- 01 Nov 2011 - 
TL;DR: This article identified new regions showing association with pulmonary function in or near MFAP2, TGFB2, HDAC4, RARB, MECOM (also known as EVI1), SPATA9, ARMC2, NCR3, ZKSCAN3, CDC123, C10orf11, LRP1, CCDC38, MMP15, CFDP1 and KCNE2.

Meta-analysis identifies multiple loci associated with kidney function–related traits in east Asian populations

Yukinori Okada, +414 more
- 01 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for kidney function–related traits, including 71,149 east Asian individuals from 18 studies in 11 population-, hospital- or family-based cohorts, conducted as part of the Asian Genetic Epidemiology Network (AGEN), identified 17 loci newly associated with kidney function-related traits.
