Novel Loci for Adiponectin Levels and Their Influence on Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Traits: A Multi-Ethnic Meta-Analysis of 45,891 Individuals

Zari Dastani, +618 more
- 29 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in 39,883 individuals of European ancestry to identify genes associated with metabolic disease identifies novel genetic determinants of adiponectin levels, which, taken together, influence risk of T2D and markers of insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function

Cristian Pattaro, +735 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular filtration rate suggests that genetic determinants of eGFR are mediated largely through direct effects within the kidney and highlight important cell types and biological pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

SLC2A9 influences uric acid concentrations with pronounced sex-specific effects.

TL;DR: Analysis of whole blood RNA expression profiles from a KORA F3 500K subgroup showed a significant association between the SLC2A9 isoform 2 and urate concentrations and the S LC2A 9 genotypes also showed significant association with self-reported gout.
Journal ArticleDOI

PCSK9 genetic variants and risk of type 2 diabetes: a mendelian randomisation study

Amand F. Schmidt, +147 more
TL;DR: PCSK9 variants associated with lower LDL cholesterol were also associated with circulating higher fasting glucose concentration, bodyweight, and waist-to-hip ratio, and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

CUBN Is a Gene Locus for Albuminuria

Carsten A. Böger, +120 more
TL;DR: A missense CUBN variant is identified that associates with levels of albuminuria in both the general population and in individuals with diabetes.
