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

PedCheck: A Program for Identification of Genotype Incompatibilities in Linkage Analysis

TL;DR: Four error-checking algorithms are implemented in a new computer program, PedCheck, which will assist researchers in identifying all Mendelian inconsistencies in pedigree data and will provide them with useful and detailed diagnostic information to help resolve the errors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of Cytochrome P450 2C19 Genotype With the Antiplatelet Effect and Clinical Efficacy of Clopidogrel Therapy

TL;DR: CYP2C19*2 genotype was associated with diminished platelet response to clopidogrel treatment and poorer cardiovascular outcomes, and patients with the CYP2C 19*2 variant were more likely to have a cardiovascular ischemic event or death during 1 year of follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel genetic associations for blood pressure identified via gene-alcohol interaction in up to 570K individuals across multiple ancestries

Mary F. Feitosa, +299 more
- 18 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: In insights into the role of alcohol consumption in the genetic architecture of hypertension, a large two-stage investigation incorporating joint testing of main genetic effects and single nucleotide variant (SNV)-alcohol consumption interactions is conducted.
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.
