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
- 30 Mar 2008 - 
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

Six new loci associated with body mass index highlight a neuronal influence on body weight regulation

Cristen J. Willer, +166 more
- 01 Jan 2009 - 
TL;DR: Several of the likely causal genes are highly expressed or known to act in the central nervous system (CNS), emphasizing, as in rare monogenic forms of obesity, the role of the CNS in predisposition to obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association of early-onset myocardial infarction with single nucleotide polymorphisms and copy number variants.

Sekar Kathiresan, +118 more
- 08 Feb 2009 - 
TL;DR: SNPs at nine loci were reproducibly associated with myocardial infarction, but tests of common and rare CNVs failed to identify additional associations with my Cardiovascular Infarction risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common variants at CD40 and other loci confer risk of rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: To identify rheumatoid arthritis risk loci in European populations, a meta-analysis of two published genome-wide association studies totaling 3,393 cases and 12,462 controls identified a common variant at the CD40 gene locus and identified evidence of association at four additional gene loci.
