A principal component meta-analysis on multiple anthropometric traits identifies novel loci for body shape

Janina S. Ried, +330 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether genetic variants affect body shape as a composite phenotype that is represented by a combination of anthropometric traits, and identified six novel loci: LEMD2 and CD47 for AvPC1, RPS6KA5/C14orf159 and GANAB for AVPC3, and ARL15 and ANP32 for Avpc4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-ancestry study of blood lipid levels identifies four loci interacting with physical activity

Tuomas O. Kilpeläinen, +251 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of physical activity interactions in the genetic contribution to blood lipid levels was investigated, showing that higher levels of physical activities enhance the HDL cholesterol-increasing effects of the CLASP1, LHX1, and SNTA1 loci and attenuate the LDL cholesterol -increasing effect of the CNTNAP2 locus.
Journal Article

Selected locus and multiple panel models for radiation hybrid mapping.

TL;DR: Two new types of models for whole-genome radiation hybrid mapping using the general multipoint framework are developed, appropriate for mapping markers in the region of a selectable locus that was used in creation of the hybrids.
Journal ArticleDOI

A common biological basis of obesity and nicotine addiction

Thorgeir E. Thorgeirsson, +316 more
TL;DR: The results strongly point to a common biological basis of the regulation of theregulation of the authors' appetite for tobacco and food, and thus the vulnerability to nicotine addiction and obesity, and the effect of single-nucleotide polymorphisms affecting body mass index (BMI).
Journal ArticleDOI

A look at linkage disequilibrium.

TL;DR: New data indicate that the extent of disequilibrium is highly variable across the genome, and that differences in disequ equilibrium levels between isolated and mixed populations are modest.
