Genome-wide association studies have identified numerous loci linked with complex diseases, for which the molecular mechanisms remain largely unclear. Comprehensive profiling of circulating metabolites captures highly heritable traits, can help to uncover metabolic pathophysiology underlying established disease variants. We conduct an extended genome-wide study genetic influences on 123 traits quantified by nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics from up 24,925 individuals and identify eight...
Amajor component of variation in body height is due to genetic differences, but environmental factors have a substantial contributory effect. In this study we aimed analyse whether the architecture varies between affluent western societies. We analysed twin data from eight countries comprising 30,111 complete pairs by using univariate model Mx statistical package. Body and zygosity were self-reported seven populations measured directly one population. found that there was mean countries;...
In the late 1980s The Netherlands Twin Register (NTR) was established by recruiting young twins and multiples at birth approaching adolescent adult through city councils. Adult NTR (ANTR) includes twins, their parents, siblings, spouses offspring. number of participants in ANTR who take part survey / or laboratory studies is over 22,000 subjects. A special group consists sisters are mothers twins. Young (YNTR), data on more than 50,000 have been collected. Currently we extending YNTR...
