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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping complex disease traits with global gene expression

TL;DR: The availability of systematically generated eQTL information could provide immediate insight into a biological basis for disease associations identified through genome-wide association studies, and can help to identify networks of genes involved in disease pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common variants associated with plasma triglycerides and risk for coronary artery disease

Ron Do, +266 more
- 01 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that triglyceride-rich lipoproteins causally influence risk for CAD, and the strength of a polymorphism's effect on triglyceride levels is correlated with the magnitude of its effect on CAD risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequencing of 53,831 diverse genomes from the NHLBI TOPMed Program.

Daniel Taliun, +205 more
- 10 Feb 2021 - 
TL;DR: The Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) project as discussed by the authors aims to elucidate the genetic architecture and biology of heart, lung, blood and sleep disorders, with the ultimate goal of improving diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association meta-analysis in 269,867 individuals identifies new genetic and functional links to intelligence

Jeanne E. Savage, +135 more
- 25 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: A large-scale genetic association study of intelligence identifies 190 new loci and implicates 939 new genes related to neurogenesis, neuron differentiation and synaptic structure, a major step forward in understanding the neurobiology of cognitive function as well as genetically related neurological and psychiatric disorders.
