Age-Related Clonal Hematopoiesis Associated with Adverse Outcomes

TL;DR: Age-related clonal hematopoiesis is a common condition that is associated with increases in the risk of hematologic cancer and in all-cause mortality, with the latter possibly due to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes

Christian Fuchsberger, +349 more
- 11 Jul 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed whole-genome sequencing in 2,657 European individuals with and without diabetes, and exome sequencing for 12,940 individuals from five ancestry groups.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functionally significant insulin-like growth factor I receptor mutations in centenarians

TL;DR: Genetic alterations in the human IGF1R that result in altered IGF signaling pathway confer an increase in susceptibility to human longevity, suggesting a role of this pathway in modulation of human lifespan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Removal of visceral fat prevents insulin resistance and glucose intolerance of aging: An adipokine-mediated process?

TL;DR: The data suggest that insulin resistance and the development of diabetes can be significantly reduced in aging rats by preventing the age-dependent accumulation of VF.
