Exome-wide association study of plasma lipids in > 300,000 individuals

Dajiang J. Liu, +288 more
- 30 Oct 2017 - 
TL;DR: It is found that beta-thalassemia trait carriers displayed lower TC and were protected from coronary artery disease (CAD), and only some mechanisms of lowering LDL-C appeared to increase risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D); and TG-lowering alleles involved in hepatic production of TG-rich lipoproteins tracked with higher liver fat, higher risk for T2D, and lower risk for CAD.

Rare and low-frequency coding variants alter human adult height

Eirini Marouli, +370 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that sufficiently large sample sizes can uncover rare and low-frequency variants of moderate-to-large effect associated with polygenic human phenotypes, and that these variants implicate relevant genes and pathways.

Exome-wide association study of plasma lipids in > 300,000 individuals

Journal ArticleDOI

Protein-altering variants associated with body mass index implicate pathways that control energy intake and expenditure in obesity

Valérie Turcot, +489 more
- 01 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: Exome-wide analysis identifies rare and low-frequency coding variants associated with body mass index that confirm enrichment of neuronal genes and provide new evidence for adipocyte and energy expenditure biology, widening the potential of genetically supported therapeutic targets in obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis identifies common and rare variants influencing blood pressure and overlapping with metabolic trait loci

Chunyu Liu, +105 more
- 01 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: This large collection of blood pressure–associated loci suggests new therapeutic strategies for hypertension, emphasizing a link with cardiometabolic risk.
