Journal ArticleDOI

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

Elizabeth K. Speliotes, +413 more
- 01 Nov 2010 - 
TL;DR: Genetic loci associated with body mass index map near key hypothalamic regulators of energy balance, and one of these loci is near GIPR, an incretin receptor, which may provide new insights into human body weight regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A large genome-wide association study of age-related macular degeneration highlights contributions of rare and common variants

Lars G. Fritsche, +185 more
- 01 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that rare coding variants can pinpoint causal genes within known genetic loci and illustrate that applying the approach systematically to detect new loci requires extremely large sample sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variation in the vasopressin receptor 1a gene (AVPR1A) associates with pair-bonding behavior in humans

TL;DR: An association between one of the human AVPR1A repeat polymorphisms (RS3) and traits reflecting pair-bonding behavior in men, including partner bonding, perceived marital problems, and marital status are reported, and it is shown that the RS3 genotype of the males also affects marital quality as perceived by their spouses.

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

Elizabeth K. Speliotes, +413 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined associations between body mass index and similar to 2.8 million SNPs in up to 123,865 individuals with targeted follow up of 42 SNPs and up to 125,931 additional individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coexisting psychiatric problems and stressful life events in adults with symptoms of ADHD--a large Swedish population-based study of twins.

TL;DR: Both women and men with ADHD are at increased risk for symptoms of other psychiatric disorders and for stressful life events, and no significant difference in comorbidity was observed between the two sexes.
