Genome-wide association scan meta-analysis identifies three Loci influencing adiposity and fat distribution

Cecilia M. Lindgren, +155 more
- 01 Jun 2009 - 
TL;DR: By focusing on anthropometric measures of central obesity and fat distribution, a meta-analysis of 16 genome-wide association studies informative for adult waist circumference and waist–hip ratio identified three loci implicated in the regulation of human adiposity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variation in GIPR influences the glucose and insulin responses to an oral glucose challenge

Richa Saxena, +173 more
- 01 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of nine genome-wide association studies and a follow-up of 29 independent loci found three newly implicated loci to be associated with type 2 diabetes: GIPR, ADCY5 and VPS13C.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psychiatric genome-wide association study analyses implicate neuronal, immune and histone pathways

Colm O'Dushlaine, +404 more
- 19 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is indicated that risk variants for psychiatric disorders aggregate in particular biological pathways and that these pathways are frequently shared between disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-6 receptor pathways in coronary heart disease: a collaborative meta-analysis of 82 studies

Nadeem Sarwar, +96 more
TL;DR: In this article, a functional genetic variant known to affect IL6R signalling was studied to assess whether this pathway is causally relevant to coronary heart disease, and Asp358Ala was not associated with lipid concentrations, blood pressure, adiposity, dysglycaemia, or smoking.
