Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale association analysis provides insights into the genetic architecture and pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes

Andrew P. Morris, +232 more
- 01 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: This article conducted a meta-analysis of genetic variants on the Metabochip, including 34,840 cases and 114,981 controls, overwhelmingly of European descent, and identified ten previously unreported T2D susceptibility loci, including two showing sex-differentiated association.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trajectories of growth among children who have coronary events as adults.

David J.P. Barker, +4 more
- 27 Oct 2005 - 
TL;DR: On average, adults who had a coronary event had been small at birth and thin at two years of age and thereafter put on weight rapidly and was associated with insulin resistance in later life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel subgroups of adult-onset diabetes and their association with outcomes: a data-driven cluster analysis of six variables

Emma Ahlqvist, +26 more
- 01 May 2018 - 
TL;DR: Five replicable clusters of patients with diabetes were identified, which had significantly different patient characteristics and risk of diabetic complications, which might eventually help to tailor and target early treatment to patients who would benefit most.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early growth and coronary heart disease in later life: longitudinal study

Johan G. Eriksson, +4 more
- 21 Apr 2001 - 
TL;DR: Irrespective of size at birth, low weight gain during infancy is associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease, and this effect was confined to men with a ponderal index <26 at birth.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
