A common variant in the FTO gene is associated with body mass index and predisposes to childhood and adult obesity

TL;DR: A genome-wide search for type 2 diabetes–susceptibility genes identified a common variant in the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene that predisposes to diabetes through an effect on body mass index (BMI).
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association data and large-scale replication identifies additional susceptibility loci for type 2 diabetes

Eleftheria Zeggini, +110 more

TL;DR: The results illustrate the value of large discovery and follow-up samples for gaining further insights into the inherited basis of T2D, and detect at least six previously unknown loci with robust evidence for association.
Journal ArticleDOI

Twelve type 2 diabetes susceptibility loci identified through large-scale association analysis

Benjamin F. Voight, +183 more
- 01 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: By combining genome-wide association data from 8,130 individuals with type 2 diabetes and 38,987 controls of European descent and following up previously unidentified meta-analysis signals, 12 new T2D association signals are identified with combined P < 5 × 10−8.
Journal ArticleDOI

Christopher Newton-Cheh, +362 more
- 01 Jun 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the association between systolic or diastolic blood pressure and common variants in eight regions near the CYP17A1 (P = 7 × 10(-24)), CYP1A2(P = 1 × 10-23), FGF5 (P=1 × 10 -21), SH2B3(P= 3 × 10−18), MTHFR(MTHFR), c10orf107(P), ZNF652(ZNF652), PLCD3 (P,P = 5 × 10 −9),
