The UK Biobank is a prospective study of 502,543 individuals, combining extensive phenotypic and genotypic data with streamlined access for researchers around the world
Given the anthropometric differences between men and women previous evidence of sex-difference in genetic effects, we conducted a genome-wide search for sexually dimorphic associations with height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, hip waist-to-hip-ratio (133,723 individuals) took forward 348 SNPs into follow-up (additional 137,052 total 94 studies. Seven loci displayed significant (FDR<5%), including four previously established (near GRB14/COBLL1, LYPLAL1/SLC30A10, VEGFA,...
Genetic studies might provide new insights into the biological mechanisms underlying lipid metabolism and risk of CAD. We therefore conducted a genome-wide association study to identify novel genetic determinants low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density (HDL-C), triglycerides.We combined data from 8 studies, comprising up 17 723 participants with information on circulating concentrations. did independent replication in 37 774 populations also population Indian Asian descent....
Rationale Lung function measures are heritable traits that predict population morbidity and mortality essential for the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Variations in many genes have been reported to affect these traits, but attempts at replication provided conflicting results. Recently, we undertook a meta-analysis Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) results lung 20,288 individuals from general (the SpiroMeta consortium). Objectives To comprehensively analyse...
Accelerated leukocyte telomere shortening has been previously associated to self-perceived stress and psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia mood disorders. We set out investigate whether length is affected in patients with anxiety disorders which a known risk factor. also studied the effects of childhood recent psychological distress on length. utilized samples from nationally representative population-based Health 2000 Survey that was carried between 2000–2001 Finland assess major...
