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),
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies 30 loci associated with bipolar disorder

Eli A. Stahl, +342 more
- 01 May 2019 - 
TL;DR: Genome-wide analysis identifies 30 loci associated with bipolar disorder, allowing for comparisons of shared genes and pathways with other psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and depression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide trans-ancestry meta-analysis provides insight into the genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes susceptibility.

Anubha Mahajan, +395 more
- 01 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors aggregated published meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), including 26,488 cases and 83,964 controls of European, east Asian, south Asian and Mexican and Mexican American ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis identifies 13 new loci associated with waist-hip ratio and reveals sexual dimorphism in the genetic basis of fat distribution

Iris M. Heid, +355 more
- 01 Nov 2010 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for WHR adjusted for body mass index provides evidence for multiple loci that modulate body fat distribution independent of overall adiposity and reveal strong gene-by-sex interactions.
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.
