Common variants in Mendelian kidney disease genes and their association with renal function
(2013)Many common genetic variants identified by genome-wide association studies for complex traits map to genes previously linked to rare inherited Mendelian disorders. A systematic analysis of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms ... -
Hundreds of variants clustered in genomic loci and biological pathways affect human height
(2010)Most common human traits and diseases have a polygenic pattern of inheritance: DNA sequence variants at many genetic loci influence the phenotype. Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified more than 600 variants ... -
Genome-wide association analysis identifies multiple loci related to resting heart rate
(2010)Higher resting heart rate is associated with increased cardiovascular disease and mortality risk. Though heritable factors play a substantial role in population variation, little is known about specific genetic determinants. ... -
Genome-wide association analyses identify 18 new loci associated with serum urate concentrations
(2013)Elevated serum urate concentrations can cause gout, a prevalent and painful inflammatory arthritis. By combining data from >140,000 individuals of European ancestry within the Global Urate Genetics Consortium (GUGC), we ... -
Integration of genome-wide association studies with biological knowledge identifies six novel genes related to kidney function
(2012)In conducting genome-wide association studies (GWAS), analytical approaches leveraging biological information may further understanding of the pathophysiology of clinical traits. To discover novel associations with estimated ... -
Genome-wide association and functional follow-up reveals new loci for kidney function
(2012)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important public health problem with a genetic component. We performed genome-wide association studies in up to 130,600 European ancestry participants overall, and stratified for key CKD ... -
Genome-wide association study to identify common variants associated with brachial circumference: a meta-analysis of 14 cohorts
(2012)Brachial circumference (BC), also known as upper arm or mid arm circumference, can be used as an indicator of muscle mass and fat tissue, which are distributed differently in men and women. Analysis of anthropometric ...
