Journal Article

New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk (vol 42, pg 105, 2010)

Josée Dupuis, +303 more
- 01 May 2010 - 
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants influencing circulating lipid levels and risk of coronary artery disease.

Dawn M. Waterworth, +68 more
TL;DR: In addition to those that are largely associated with LDL-C, genetic loci mainly associated with circulating triglycerides and HDL-C are also associated with risk of CAD, and these findings potentially provide new insights into the biological mechanisms underlying lipid metabolism and CAD risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis identifies multiple loci associated with kidney function–related traits in east Asian populations

Yukinori Okada, +414 more
- 01 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for kidney function–related traits, including 71,149 east Asian individuals from 18 studies in 11 population-, hospital- or family-based cohorts, conducted as part of the Asian Genetic Epidemiology Network (AGEN), identified 17 loci newly associated with kidney function-related traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex-dimorphic genetic effects and novel loci for fasting glucose and insulin variability

Vasiliki Lagou, +254 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess sex-dimorphic (73,089/50,404 women and 67,506/47,806 men) and sex-combined (151,188/105,056 individuals) fasting glucose/fasting insulin genetic effects via genome-wide association study meta-analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of Adiposity Genetic Variants With Menarche Timing in 92,105 Women of European Descent

Lindsay Fernández-Rhodes, +74 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the associations of 95 a priori and recently identified obesity-related single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with age at menarche in 92,116 women of European descent from 38 studies (1970-2010) were estimated using meta-analytical techniques.
