Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery and refinement of loci associated with lipid levels

Cristen J. Willer, +319 more
- 06 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is found that loci associated with blood lipid levels are often associated with cardiovascular and metabolic traits, including coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, blood pressure, waist-hip ratio and body mass index.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synaptic, transcriptional and chromatin genes disrupted in autism

Silvia De Rubeis, +99 more
- 13 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: Using exome sequencing, it is shown that analysis of rare coding variation in 3,871 autism cases and 9,937 ancestry-matched or parental controls implicates 22 autosomal genes at a false discovery rate of < 0.05, plus a set of 107 genes strongly enriched for those likely to affect risk (FDR < 0.30).

Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal 18 new loci associated with body mass index

Elizabeth K. Speliotes, +374 more
TL;DR: 18 new loci associated with body mass index are identified, one of which includes a copy number variant near GPRC5B, and genes in other newly associated loci may provide new insights into human body weight regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height

Andrew R. Wood, +444 more
- 01 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: This article identified 697 variants at genome-wide significance that together explained one-fifth of the heritability for adult height, and all common variants together captured 60% of heritability.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comprehensive 1000 Genomes–based genome-wide association meta-analysis of coronary artery disease

Majid Nikpay, +167 more
- 07 Sep 2015 - 
TL;DR: This article conducted a meta-analysis of coronary artery disease (CAD) cases and controls, interrogating 6.7 million common (minor allele frequency (MAF) > 0.05) and 2.7 millions low-frequency (0.005 < MAF < 0.5) variants.
