Rare and low-frequency coding variants alter human adult height

Eirini Marouli, +370 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that sufficiently large sample sizes can uncover rare and low-frequency variants of moderate-to-large effect associated with polygenic human phenotypes, and that these variants implicate relevant genes and pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein-altering variants associated with body mass index implicate pathways that control energy intake and expenditure in obesity

Valérie Turcot, +489 more
- 01 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: Exome-wide analysis identifies rare and low-frequency coding variants associated with body mass index that confirm enrichment of neuronal genes and provide new evidence for adipocyte and energy expenditure biology, widening the potential of genetically supported therapeutic targets in obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

HIV-1 envelope trimer elicits more potent neutralizing antibody responses than monomeric gp120

TL;DR: It is reported here that suitably prepared envelope trimers have nearly all the antigenic properties expected for native viral spikes, and they induce potent neutralizing antibody responses for a cross-clade set of tier 1 and tier 2 viruses with titers substantially higher than those elicited by the corresponding gp120 monomers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deep-coverage whole genome sequences and blood lipids among 16,324 individuals.

TL;DR: Large-scale deep-coverage whole-genome sequencing is now feasible and offers potential advantages for locus discovery and the incremental value of WGS for discovery is limited but WGS permits simultaneous assessment of monogenic and polygenic models to severe hypercholesterolemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cutting edge: the acquisition of TLR tolerance during malaria infection impacts T cell activation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that phenotypic changes in DCs during Plasmodium yoelii infection represent a mechanism of controlling host inflammation while maintaining effective adaptive immunity.
