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

Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal 18 new loci associated with body mass index

Elizabeth K. Speliotes, +413 more
- 01 Nov 2010 - 
TL;DR: Genetic loci associated with body mass index map near key hypothalamic regulators of energy balance, and one of these loci is near GIPR, an incretin receptor, which may provide new insights into human body weight regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk

Josée Dupuis, +339 more
- 01 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that genetic studies of glycemic traits can identify type 2 diabetes risk loci, as well as loci containing gene variants that are associated with a modest elevation in glucose levels but are not associated with overt diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

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 ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association data and large-scale replication identifies additional susceptibility loci for type 2 diabetes

Eleftheria Zeggini, +110 more
- 30 Mar 2008 - 
TL;DR: The results illustrate the value of large discovery and follow-up samples for gaining further insights into the inherited basis of T2D, and detect at least six previously unknown loci with robust evidence for association.
