TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether genetic variants affect body shape as a composite phenotype that is represented by a combination of anthropometric traits, and identified six novel loci: LEMD2 and CD47 for AvPC1, RPS6KA5/C14orf159 and GANAB for AVPC3, and ARL15 and ANP32 for Avpc4.

An efficient comprehensive search algorithm for tagSNP selection using linkage disequilibrium criteria
TL;DR: An improved algorithm for tagSNP selection using the pairwise r(2) criterion is devised, which first break down large marker sets into disjoint pieces, where more exhaustive searches can replace the greedy algorithm.

TL;DR: The results strongly point to a common biological basis of the regulation of theregulation of the authors' appetite for tobacco and food, and thus the vulnerability to nicotine addiction and obesity, and the effect of single-nucleotide polymorphisms affecting body mass index (BMI).

TL;DR: In this article , the authors identify a variant (rs190509934, minor allele frequency 0.2-2%) that downregulates ACE2 expression by 37% and reduces the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection by 40% (odds ratio = 0.60, P = 4.5 × 10 − 13 ).
