Journal ArticleDOI

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

Elizabeth K. Speliotes, +413 more
- 01 Nov 2010 - 
TL;DR: Genetic loci associated with body mass index map near key hypothalamic regulators of energy balance, and one of these loci is near GIPR, an incretin receptor, which may provide new insights into human body weight regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk

Josée Dupuis, +339 more
- 01 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that genetic studies of glycemic traits can identify type 2 diabetes risk loci, as well as loci containing gene variants that are associated with a modest elevation in glucose levels but are not associated with overt diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide association search for type 2 diabetes genes in African Americans.

Nichole D. Palmer, +384 more
- 04 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that multiple loci underlie T2DM susceptibility in the African-American population and that these loci are distinct from those identified in other ethnic populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide approach accounting for body mass index identifies genetic variants influencing fasting glycemic traits and insulin resistance.

Alisa K. Manning, +243 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: Six previously unknown loci associated with fasting insulin at P < 5 × 10−8 in combined discovery and follow-up analyses of 52 studies comprising up to 96,496 non-diabetic individuals are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variation in GIPR influences the glucose and insulin responses to an oral glucose challenge

Richa Saxena, +173 more
- 01 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of nine genome-wide association studies and a follow-up of 29 independent loci found three newly implicated loci to be associated with type 2 diabetes: GIPR, ADCY5 and VPS13C.
