Genome-wide trans-ancestry meta-analysis provides insight into the genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes susceptibility.

Anubha Mahajan, +395 more
- 01 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors aggregated published meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), including 26,488 cases and 83,964 controls of European, east Asian, south Asian and Mexican and Mexican American ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies eight new loci for type 2 diabetes in east Asians

Yoon Shin Cho, +72 more
- 01 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: The combined analysis identified eight new T2D loci reaching genome-wide significance, which mapped in or near GLIS3, PEPD, FITM2-R3HDML-HNF4A, KCNK16, MAEA, GCC1-PAX4, PSMD6 and ZFAND3, which may regulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion in the pancreas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale genome-wide association studies in East Asians identify new genetic loci influencing metabolic traits.

Young-Jin Kim, +33 more
- 01 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: Ten genome-wide significant signals newly associated with traits from an overall meta-analysis were identified, highlighting previously unknown biological pathways for metabolic traits investigated in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of function of the melanocortin 2 receptor accessory protein 2 is associated with mammalian obesity.

Masato Asai, +23 more
- 19 Jul 2013 - 
TL;DR: The physiological role of brain-expressed melanocortin 2 receptor accessory protein 2 (MRAP2) is investigated, and four rare, potentially pathogenic genetic variants in MRAP2 are found, suggesting that the gene may also contribute to body weight regulation in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide search for type 2 diabetes/impaired glucose homeostasis susceptibility genes in the Chinese: Significant linkage to chromosome 6q21-q23 and chromosome 1q21-q24

Kun-san Xiang, +17 more
- 01 Jan 2004 - 
TL;DR: The independent replication of the region on chromosome 1q that has been shown to be linked significantly to type 2 diabetes/IGH in Chinese supports the notion that gene(s) in this region may be universally important in the development of human type 1 diabetes.
