Hundreds of variants clustered in genomic loci and biological pathways affect human height

Hana Lango Allen, +289 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that hundreds of genetic variants, in at least 180 loci, influence adult height, a highly heritable and classic polygenic trait, revealing patterns with important implications for genetic studies of common human diseases and traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Six new loci associated with body mass index highlight a neuronal influence on body weight regulation

Cristen J. Willer, +166 more
- 01 Jan 2009 - 
TL;DR: Several of the likely causal genes are highly expressed or known to act in the central nervous system (CNS), emphasizing, as in rare monogenic forms of obesity, the role of the CNS in predisposition to obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physiologic evaluation of factors controlling glucose tolerance in man: measurement of insulin sensitivity and beta-cell glucose sensitivity from the response to intravenous glucose.

TL;DR: The feasibility of the minimal model technique to determine the etiology of impaired glucose tolerance is demonstrated and it is demonstrated that subjects (regardless of weight) could be segregated into good and lower tolerance by the product of second-phase beta-cell responsivity and insulin sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Newly identified loci that influence lipid concentrations and risk of coronary artery disease

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used genotype imputation and meta-analysis to identify genetic variants influencing plasma lipid concentrations, using three genome-wide scans totaling 8,816 individuals and comprising 6,068 individuals specific to their study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantification of the relationship between insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function in human subjects. Evidence for a hyperbolic function.

TL;DR: In human subjects with normal glucose tolerance and varying degrees of obesity, β-cell function varies quantitatively with differences in insulin sensitivity, consistent with a regulated feedback loop control system.
