We describe the Phase II HapMap, which characterizes over 3.1 million human single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyped in 270 individuals from four geographically diverse populations and… Expand
Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal 18 new loci associated with body mass index
- E. K. Speliotes, E. K. Speliotes, +411 authors R. Loos

A Genome-Wide Association Study of Type 2 Diabetes in Finns Detects Multiple Susceptibility Variants
Identifying the genetic variants that increase the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in humans has been a formidable challenge. Adopting a genome-wide association strategy, we genotyped 1161 Finnish T2D… Expand
