Journal ArticleDOI

Demonstrating stratification in a European American population.

TL;DR: The failure of standard methods to detect stratification in case-control association studies indicates that new methods may be required, and a SNP in the gene LCT that varies widely in frequency across Europe was strongly associated with height.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel Loci for Adiponectin Levels and Their Influence on Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Traits: A Multi-Ethnic Meta-Analysis of 45,891 Individuals

Zari Dastani, +618 more
- 29 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in 39,883 individuals of European ancestry to identify genes associated with metabolic disease identifies novel genetic determinants of adiponectin levels, which, taken together, influence risk of T2D and markers of insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence variants in SLC16A11 are a common risk factor for type 2 diabetes in Mexico

A. L. Williams Amy, +128 more
- 06 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: Analysis in Mexican and Latin American individuals identified SLC16A11 as a novel candidate gene for type 2 diabetes with a possible role in triacylglycerol metabolism and an archaic genome sequence indicated that the risk haplotype introgressed into modern humans via admixture with Neanderthals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell type–specific genetic regulation of gene expression across human tissues

TL;DR: A growing number of in silico cell type deconvolution methods and associated reference panels with cell type–specific marker genes enable the robust estimation of the enrichment of specific cell types from bulk tissue gene expression data.
