Cohort Profile: The Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES) Consortium
Yeonjung Kim,Bok-Ghee Han +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of the KoGES was to investigate the genetic and environmental aetiology of common complex diseases in Koreans (i.e. T2DM, hypertension, obesity, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, CVD,and cancer) and causes of death with longterm follow-up, and develop comprehensive and applicable health care guidelines for common complex Diseases in Koreans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale genome-wide association studies in East Asians identify new genetic loci influencing metabolic traits.
Young-Jin Kim,Min Jin Go,Cheng Hu,Chang Bum Hong,Yun Kyoung Kim,Ji-Young Lee,Joo Yeon Hwang,Ji Hee Oh,Dong Joon Kim,Nam Hee Kim,Soeui Kim,Eun Jung Hong,Ji Hyun Kim,Haesook Min,Yeonjung Kim,Rong Zhang,Weiping Jia,Yukinori Okada,Atsushi Takahashi,Michiaki Kubo,Toshihiro Tanaka,Naoyuki Kamatani,Koichi Matsuda,Taesung Park,Bermseok Oh,Kuchan Kimm,Daehee Kang,Chol Shin,Nam H. Cho,Nam H. Cho,Hyung Lae Kim,Bok Ghee Han,Jong-Young Lee,Yoon Shin Cho +33 more
TL;DR: Ten genome-wide significant signals newly associated with traits from an overall meta-analysis were identified, highlighting previously unknown biological pathways for metabolic traits investigated in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
New susceptibility loci in MYL2, C12orf51 and OAS1 associated with 1-h plasma glucose as predisposing risk factors for type 2 diabetes in the Korean population.
Min Jin Go,Joo-Yeon Hwang,Young-Jin Kim,Ji Hee Oh,Yeonjung Kim,Soo Heon Kwak,Kyung Soo Park,Kyung Soo Park,Ju Young Lee,Bong-Jo Kim,Bok-Ghee Han,Myeong Chan Cho,Yoon Shin Cho,Jong-Young Lee +13 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis for glycemic traits including 1-h plasma glucose (1-hPG) from 14 232 non-diabetic individuals in the Korean population found newly implicated variants (MYL2, C12orf51 and OAS1) were found to be significantly associated with 1- hPG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of three novel genetic variations associated with electrocardiographic traits (QRS duration and PR interval) in East Asians
Kyung Won Hong,Ji E.un Lim,Jong W.ook Kim,Yasuharu Tabara,Hirotsugu Ueshima,Tetsuro Miki,Fumihiko Matsuda,Yoon Shin Cho,Yeonjung Kim,Bermseok Oh +9 more
TL;DR: The finding that a PRDM16 SNP is linked to QRS duration strongly implicates PRDM12 in cardiac function, and the C allele of rs17026156 increases PR interval.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective study of optimal obesity index cutoffs for predicting development of multiple metabolic risk factors: the Korean genome and epidemiology study.
Kwang Pil Ko,Kwang Pil Ko,Dae Kyu Oh,Haesook Min,Cheong Sik Kim,Jae Kyung Park,Yeonjung Kim,Sung Soo Kim +7 more
TL;DR: To prevent development of metabolic diseases among Koreans, it might be useful to lower the cutoff for abdominal obesity, as defined by WC, which appeared to be a better discriminator than BMI.
