Genetic Architecture of Plasma Alpha‐Aminoadipic Acid Reveals a Relationship With High‐Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol

TL;DR: 2‐AAA levels in plasma may be regulated, in part, by common variants in genes involved in mitochondrial and macrophage function, and Elevated plasma 2‐AAA associates with reduced levels of high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association and Interaction of Genetics and Area-Level Socioeconomic Factors on the Prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity.

TL;DR: In this article , the impact of genetic and socioeconomic factors on risk of type 2 diabetes and obesity was quantified using logistic regression models to calculate cross-sectional odds of T2D and obesity using polygenic risk scores and area-level socioeconomic risk (educational attainment) measures.
