Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide approach accounting for body mass index identifies genetic variants influencing fasting glycemic traits and insulin resistance.

Alisa K. Manning, +243 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: Six previously unknown loci associated with fasting insulin at P < 5 × 10−8 in combined discovery and follow-up analyses of 52 studies comprising up to 96,496 non-diabetic individuals are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale association analyses identify new loci influencing glycemic traits and provide insight into the underlying biological pathways

Robert A. Scott, +216 more
- 01 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: Gene-based analyses identified further biologically plausible loci, suggesting that additional loci beyond those reaching genome-wide significance are likely to represent real associations and further functional analysis of these newly discovered loci will further improve the understanding of glycemic control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association analyses identify 18 new loci associated with serum urate concentrations

Anna Köttgen, +250 more
- 01 Feb 2013 - 
TL;DR: New candidate genes for serum urate concentration highlight the importance of metabolic control of urate production and excretion, which may have implications for the treatment and prevention of gout.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Influence of Age and Sex on Genetic Associations with Adult Body Size and Shape: A Large-Scale Genome-Wide Interaction Study

Thomas W. Winkler, +438 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed meta-analyses of 114 studies with genome-wide chip and/or Metabochip data by the Genetic Investigation of Anthropometric Traits (GIANT) Consortium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of 28,141 individuals identifies common variants within five new loci that influence uric acid concentrations.

Melanie Kolz, +64 more
- 05 Jun 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis of genome-wide association scans from 14 studies with 28,141 participants of European descent was conducted, resulting in identification of 954 SNPs distributed across nine loci that exceeded the threshold of genomewide significance, five of which are novel.
