Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology

Adam E. Locke, +481 more
TL;DR: This paper conducted a genome-wide association study and meta-analysis of body mass index (BMI), a measure commonly used to define obesity and assess adiposity, in up to 339,224 individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies novel breast cancer susceptibility loci

Douglas F. Easton, +109 more
- 28 Jun 2007 - 
TL;DR: To identify further susceptibility alleles, a two-stage genome-wide association study in 4,398 breast cancer cases and 4,316 controls was conducted, followed by a third stage in which 30 single nucleotide polymorphisms were tested for confirmation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height

Andrew R. Wood, +444 more
- 01 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: This article identified 697 variants at genome-wide significance that together explained one-fifth of the heritability for adult height, and all common variants together captured 60% of heritability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk of COVID-19 among front-line health-care workers and the general community: a prospective cohort study.

Long H. Nguyen, +81 more
TL;DR: In the UK and the USA, risk of reporting a positive test for COVID-19 was increased among front-line health-care workers, and adequacy of PPE, clinical setting, and ethnic background were also important factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk

Kyriaki Michailidou, +220 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 9 genome-wide association studies, including 10,052 breast cancer cases and 12,575 controls of European ancestry, and identified 29,807 SNPs for further genotyping suggests that more than 1,000 additional loci are involved in breast cancer susceptibility.
