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.

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

Elizabeth K. Speliotes, +374 more
TL;DR: 18 new loci associated with body mass index are identified, one of which includes a copy number variant near GPRC5B, and genes in other newly associated loci may provide new insights into human body weight regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical activity attenuates the influence of FTO variants on obesity risk: A meta-analysis of 218,166 adults and 19,268 children

Tuomas O. Kilpeläinen, +115 more
- 01 Nov 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis of data from 45 studies of adults and nine studies of children and adolescents was conducted to confirm or refute unambiguously whether physical activity attenuates the association of FTO with obesity risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

FTO genotype is associated with phenotypic variability of body mass index

Jian Yang, +198 more
- 11 Oct 2012 - 
TL;DR: The authors performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of phenotypic variation using ∼170,000 samples on height and body mass index (BMI) in human populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-Wide Association Study for Coronary Artery Calcification With Follow-Up in Myocardial Infarction

Christopher J. O'Donnell, +71 more
- 20 Dec 2011 - 
TL;DR: SNPs in the 9p21 and PHACTR1 gene loci were strongly associated with CAC and MI, and there is suggestive associations with both Cac and MI of SNPs in additional loci.
