New loci associated with birth weight identify genetic links between intrauterine growth and adult height and metabolism.

Momoko Horikoshi, +174 more
- 01 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: The number of loci associated at genome-wide significance to 7, accounting for a similar proportion of variance as maternal smoking, are extended and highlight genetic links between fetal growth and postnatal growth and metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide physical activity interactions in adiposity. A meta-analysis of 200,452 adults

Mariaelisa Graff, +349 more
- 27 Apr 2017 - 
TL;DR: In additional genome-wide meta-analyses adjusting for PA and interaction with PA, 11 novel adiposity loci are identified, suggesting that accounting for PA or other environmental factors that contribute to variation in adiposity may facilitate gene discovery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide meta-analysis of 241,258 adults accounting for smoking behaviour identifies novel loci for obesity traits

Anne E. Justice, +370 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that tobacco smoking may alter the genetic susceptibility to overall adiposity and body fat distribution, and highlight the importance of accounting for environment in genetic analyses.

Genome-wide meta-analysis of 241,258 adults accounting for smoking behaviour identifies novel loci for obesity traits

Anne E. Justice, +316 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used GWAS data from 51,080 current smokers and 190,178 nonsmokers (87% European descent) to identify loci influencing BMI and central adiposity, measured as waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio both adjusted for BMI.
