Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology

Adam E. Locke, +481 more
TL;DR: This paper conducted a genome-wide association study and meta-analysis of body mass index (BMI), a measure commonly used to define obesity and assess adiposity, in up to 339,224 individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height

Andrew R. Wood, +444 more
- 01 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: This article identified 697 variants at genome-wide significance that together explained one-fifth of the heritability for adult height, and all common variants together captured 60% of heritability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of seven loci affecting mean telomere length and their association with disease

Veryan Codd, +110 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a genome-wide meta-analysis of 37,684 individuals with replication of selected variants in an additional 10,739 individuals was carried out to identify seven loci, including five new loci associated with mean leukocyte telomere length (LTL) (P < 5 × 10−8).
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association analyses identify 18 new loci associated with serum urate concentrations

Anna Köttgen, +250 more
- 01 Feb 2013 - 
TL;DR: New candidate genes for serum urate concentration highlight the importance of metabolic control of urate production and excretion, which may have implications for the treatment and prevention of gout.

Identification of seven loci affecting mean telomere length and their association with disease

Veryan Codd, +98 more
TL;DR: In this article, a genome-wide meta-analysis of 37,684 individuals with replication of selected variants in an additional 10,739 individuals was carried out to identify seven loci, including five new loci associated with mean leukocyte telomere length (LTL).
