Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in East Asian-ancestry populations identifies four new loci for body mass index

Wanqing Wen, +108 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of associations between BMI and ∼2.5 million genotyped or imputed single nucleotide polymorphisms among 86 757 individuals of Asian ancestry, followed by in silico and de novo replication among 7488-47 352 additional Asian-ancestry individuals finds the association of BMI with rs2237892, rs671 and rs12229654 was significantly stronger among men than among women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association analyses of East Asian individuals and trans-ancestry analyses with European individuals reveal new loci associated with cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Cassandra N. Spracklen, +123 more
TL;DR: Two meta‐analyses combined results from the East Asian meta‐analysis with association results from up to 187,365 European individuals from the Global Lipids Genetics Consortium in a trans‐ancestry meta‐ analysis identified multiple novel lipid loci, providing new potential therapeutic targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of adult height in East Asians identifies 17 novel loci

Meian He, +93 more
TL;DR: 98 loci are identified, including 17 novel and 81 previously reported loci, associated with height at P < 5 × 10(-8), together explaining 8.89% of phenotypic variance, and novel biological pathway such as the protein tyrosine phosphatase family is involved in regulation of height.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between serum uric acid and the metabolic syndrome among a middle- and old-age Chinese population.

TL;DR: Among a middle- and old-age Chinese population, serum uric acid concentrations were strongly associated with the risk of MetS and its several components and whether this association was causal remained to be investigated in the future studies.
