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

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

The human obesity gene map: the 2005 update.

TL;DR: The 12th update of the human obesity gene map is presented, which incorporates published results up to the end of October 2005, and shows putative loci on all chromosomes except Y.
Journal ArticleDOI

The human obesity gene map: the 2004 update.

TL;DR: This paper presents the 12th update of the human obesity gene map, which incorporates published results up to the end of October 2005, and shows putative loci on all chromosomes except Y.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide approach accounting for body mass index identifies genetic variants influencing fasting glycemic traits and insulin resistance.

Alisa K. Manning, +243 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: Six previously unknown loci associated with fasting insulin at P < 5 × 10−8 in combined discovery and follow-up analyses of 52 studies comprising up to 96,496 non-diabetic individuals are presented.
