Journal ArticleDOI

Integrating common and rare genetic variation in diverse human populations

David Altshuler, +68 more
- 02 Sep 2010 - 
TL;DR: An expanded public resource of genome variants in global populations supports deeper interrogation of genomic variation and its role in human disease, and serves as a step towards a high-resolution map of the landscape of human genetic variation.
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.

GWAS of 126,559 individuals identifies genetic variants associated with educational attainment

Cornelius A. Rietveld, +201 more
TL;DR: Three genetic loci are found to explain variation associated with educational achievement and provide promising candidate SNPs for follow-up work, and effect size estimates can anchor power analyses in social-science genetics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of cardioprotective effects at the ADAMTS7 locus as a result of gene-smoking interactions

Danish Saleheen, +90 more
- 13 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction of genetic susceptibility with lifestyle factors may play a prominent role in coronary heart disease (CHD) etiology and the interaction between genetic susceptibility and lifestyle factors is discussed.
