The prevalence of child and adolescent obesity has plateaued at high levels in most high-
income countries and is increasing in many low-income and middle-income countries …

Large-scale genome-wide association studies conducted over the last decade have
uncovered numerous genetic variants associated with cardiometabolic traits and risk factors …

It has been 15 years since the advent of the genome-wide association study (GWAS) era.
Here, we review how this experimental design has realized its promise by facilitating an …

We report a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of coronary artery disease (CAD)
incorporating nearly a quarter of a million cases, in which existing studies are integrated with …

Common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are predicted to collectively explain 40–
50% of phenotypic variation in human height, but identifying the specific variants and …

The prevalence of obesity has tripled over the past four decades, imposing an enormous
burden on people's health. Polygenic (or common) obesity and rare, severe, early-onset …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) test hundreds of thousands of genetic variants
across many genomes to find those statistically associated with a specific trait or disease …

Human brains vary across people and over time; such variation is not yet understood in
cellular terms. Here we describe a relationship between people's cortical neurons and …

Detailed knowledge of how diversity in the sequence of the human genome affects
phenotypic diversity depends on a comprehensive and reliable characterization of both …

Abstract Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is a member of the TGFβ superfamily
