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

Identification of seven loci affecting mean telomere length and their association with disease

Veryan Codd, +110 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a genome-wide meta-analysis of 37,684 individuals with replication of selected variants in an additional 10,739 individuals was carried out to identify seven loci, including five new loci associated with mean leukocyte telomere length (LTL) (P < 5 × 10−8).
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole-genome sequence variation, population structure and demographic history of the Dutch population

Laurent C. Francioli, +91 more
- 01 Jun 2014 - 
TL;DR: The Genome of the Netherlands (GoNL) Project is described, in which the whole genomes of 250 Dutch parent-offspring families were sequenced and a haplotype map of 20.4 million single-nucleotide variants and 1.2 million insertions and deletions were constructed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenome-wide association study of body mass index, and the adverse outcomes of adiposity

Simone Wahl, +123 more
- 05 Jan 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used epigenome-wide association to show that body mass index (BMI), a key measure of adiposity, is associated with widespread changes in DNA methylation.
