Underlying Genetic Models of Inheritance in Established Type 2 Diabetes Associations

TL;DR: A Bayesian meta-analysis approach to data from 19 studies on 17 replicated associations with type 2 diabetes yielded point estimates for the genetic effects that were very similar to those previously reported based on fixed- or random-effects models, but uncertainty about several of the effects was substantially larger.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-Wide Association Study of the Modified Stumvoll Insulin Sensitivity Index Identifies BCL2 and FAM19A2 as Novel Insulin Sensitivity Loci

Geoffrey A. Walford, +93 more
- 01 Oct 2016 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of the modified Stumvoll Insulin Sensitivity Index (ISI) was performed within the Meta-Analyses of Glucose and Insulin-Related Traits Consortium, identifying two novel loci and replicated known variants associated with insulin sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing Whether an Allele Can Account in Part for a Linkage Signal: The Genotype-IBD Sharing Test (GIST)

TL;DR: For samples of 500 affected sib pairs, the tests are powerful in detection of genotype-IBD sharing association, even for disease models with sib relative risk as low as lambda S=1.1, which makes the method a new tool for detecting linkage as well as association.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical Phenotype of Juvenile-onset Primary Open-angle Glaucoma Linked to Chromosome 1q*

TL;DR: A previously unpublished family in which juvenile-onset primary open-angle glaucoma is segregating in an autosomal dominant manner is described, with a candidate interval smaller than that in previous reports.
Journal ArticleDOI

GWAS of thyroid stimulating hormone highlights pleiotropic effects and inverse association with thyroid cancer.

Wei Zhou, +63 more
TL;DR: A GWAS and two-sample Mendelian randomization using TSH index variants as instrumental variables suggests a protective effect of higher TSH levels (indicating lower thyroid function) on risk of thyroid cancer and goiter.
