TL;DR: This study has demonstrated that careful use of a shared control group represents a safe and effective approach to GWA analyses of multiple disease phenotypes; generated a genome-wide genotype database for future studies of common diseases in the British population; and shown that, provided individuals with non-European ancestry are excluded, the extent of population stratification in theBritish population is generally modest.

TL;DR: This study increases the number of T1D loci with compelling evidence from six to at least ten, with evidence for chromosome 18q22 and 18p11, which showed association with autoimmune thyroid disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report initial association and independent replication in a North American sample of two new loci related to ankylosing spondylitis, ARTS1 and IL23R, and confirm the previously reported association of AITD with TSHR and FCRL3.

TL;DR: Liraglutide was safe, well tolerated, and led to histological resolution of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, warranting extensive, longer-term studies.

TL;DR: This work shows how knowledge of the common haplotypes and the SNPs that tag them can be used to explain the often complex patterns of LD between adjacent markers and provide key fine-mapping data within regions of strong LD.
