A genome-wide association search for type 2 diabetes genes in African Americans.

Nichole D. Palmer, +384 more
- 04 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that multiple loci underlie T2DM susceptibility in the African-American population and that these loci are distinct from those identified in other ethnic populations.
Journal Article

New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk (vol 42, pg 105, 2010)

Josée Dupuis, +303 more
- 01 May 2010 - 
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of 28,141 individuals identifies common variants within five new loci that influence uric acid concentrations.

Melanie Kolz, +64 more
- 05 Jun 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis of genome-wide association scans from 14 studies with 28,141 participants of European descent was conducted, resulting in identification of 954 SNPs distributed across nine loci that exceeded the threshold of genomewide significance, five of which are novel.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis identifies multiple loci associated with kidney function–related traits in east Asian populations

Yukinori Okada, +414 more
- 01 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for kidney function–related traits, including 71,149 east Asian individuals from 18 studies in 11 population-, hospital- or family-based cohorts, conducted as part of the Asian Genetic Epidemiology Network (AGEN), identified 17 loci newly associated with kidney function-related traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

FTO genetic variants, dietary intake and body mass index: insights from 177 330 individuals

Qibin Qi, +110 more
TL;DR: A positive association between the BMI-increasing allele of FTO variant and higher dietary protein intake is suggested and insight is offered into potential link between FTO, dietaryprotein intake and adiposity.
