Journal ArticleDOI

A genomic approach to therapeutic target validation identifies a glucose-lowering GLP1R variant protective for coronary heart disease

Robert A. Scott, +162 more
TL;DR: A low-frequency missense variant in the gene encoding glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor, the target of GLP1R agonists, was associated with lower fasting glucose and T2D risk, consistent with GLP 1R agonist therapies, and provided evidence that GLP2D agonists are not likely to be associated with an unacceptable increase in cardiovascular risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autosomal Dominant Diabetes Arising From a Wolfram Syndrome 1 Mutation

TL;DR: A novel nonsynonymous variant (p.Trp314Arg) in the Wolfram syndrome 1 (WFS1) gene is uncovered that segregates completely with the diabetic phenotype and represents the first compelling report of a mutation in WFS1 associated with dominantly inherited nonsyndromic adult-onset diabetes.

Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height

Andrew R. Wood, +444 more
TL;DR: The results indicate a genetic architecture for human height that is characterized by a very large but finite number of causal variants, including mTOR, osteoglycin and binding of hyaluronic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic inactivation of ANGPTL4 improves glucose homeostasis and is associated with reduced risk of diabetes

Viktoria Gusarova, +91 more
TL;DR: It is found that predicted loss-of-function variants in ANGPTL4 are associated with glucose homeostasis and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and that Angptl4−/− mice on a high-fat diet show improved insulin sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide association study of IVGTT-based measures of first-phase insulin secretion refines the underlying physiology of type 2 diabetes variants

Andrew R. Wood, +55 more
- 01 Aug 2017 - 
TL;DR: The largest genome-wide association study of first-phase insulin secretion, as measured by intravenous glucose tolerance tests, using up to 5,567 individuals without diabetes from 10 studies is performed, providing further insight into the mechanisms by which common genetic variation influences type 2 diabetes risk and glycemic traits.
