Journal ArticleDOI

Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories: a pooled analysis of 2181 population-based studies with 65 million participants

Andrea Rodriguez-Martinez, +1361 more
- 07 Nov 2020 - 
TL;DR: Girls in South Korea, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and some central Asian countries and boys in central and western Europe had the healthiest changes in anthropometric status over the past 3·5 decades because, compared with children and adolescents in other countries, they had a much larger gain in height than they did in BMI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole exome sequencing study identifies novel rare and common Alzheimer's-Associated variants involved in immune response and transcriptional regulation

Joshua C. Bis, +118 more
- 01 Aug 2020 - 
TL;DR: The Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Project undertook whole exome sequencing in 5,740 late-onset Alzheimer disease cases and 5,096 cognitively normal controls primarily of European ancestry, identifying novel and predicted functional genetic variants in genes previously associated with AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies multiple longevity genes

Joris Deelen, +96 more
- 14 Aug 2019 - 
TL;DR: A case–control design based on phenotype definitions of individuals surviving at or beyond the age corresponding to the 90th and 99th survival percentile, and two additional loci located in the APOE locus and near GPR78 are reported, revealing a role for tissue-specific expression of multiple genes in longevity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide Association and Longitudinal Analyses Reveal Genetic Loci Linking Pubertal Height Growth, Pubertal Timing, and Childhood Adiposity

Diana L. Cousminer, +86 more
- 01 Jul 2013 - 
TL;DR: This study shows that individual loci associating with pubertal growth have variable longitudinal growth patterns that may differ from epidemiological observations, and uncovers part of the complex genetic architecture linking Pubertal height growth, the timing of puberty and childhood obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common polymorphism in the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) is associated with human social recognition skills

David Skuse, +9 more
- 04 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: It is discovered that a single OXTR polymorphism accounted for up to 10% of variation in their test performance, in both UK and Finnish populations, implying that a critical role for the oxytocin system in social recognition has been conserved across perceptual boundaries through evolution, from olfaction in rodents to visual memory in humans.
