Journal ArticleDOI

Systematic identification of trans eQTLs as putative drivers of known disease associations

Harm-Jan Westra, +60 more
- 01 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: Variants associated with cholesterol metabolism and type 1 diabetes showed similar phenomena, indicating that large-scale eQTL mapping provides insight into the downstream effects of many trait-associated variants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fine-mapping type 2 diabetes loci to single-variant resolution using high-density imputation and islet-specific epigenome maps.

Anubha Mahajan, +131 more
- 08 Oct 2018 - 
TL;DR: Combining 32 genome-wide association studies with high-density imputation provides a comprehensive view of the genetic contribution to type 2 diabetes in individuals of European ancestry with respect to locus discovery, causal-variant resolution, and mechanistic insight.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes

Christian Fuchsberger, +349 more
- 11 Jul 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed whole-genome sequencing in 2,657 European individuals with and without diabetes, and exome sequencing for 12,940 individuals from five ancestry groups.

The genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes

Christian Fuchsberger, +300 more
TL;DR: Large-scale sequencing does not support the idea that lower-frequency variants have a major role in predisposition to type 2 diabetes, but most fell within regions previously identified by genome-wide association studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tobacco smoking leads to extensive genome-wide changes in DNA methylation.

TL;DR: The results of this study confirm the broad effect of tobacco smoking on the human organism, but also show that quitting tobacco smoking presumably allows regaining the DNA methylation state of never smokers.
