A Common Variant in the FTO Gene Is Associated with Body Mass Index and Predisposes to Childhood and Adult Obesity
- T. Frayling, N. Timpson, +38 authors M. McCarthy
- Medicine
- Science
- 11 May 2007
Obesity is a serious international health problem that increases the risk of several common diseases. The genetic factors predisposing to obesity are poorly understood. A genome-wide search for type… Expand
Biological, Clinical, and Population Relevance of 95 Loci for Blood Lipids
- Tanya M. Teslovich, K. Musunuru, +206 authors S. Kathiresan
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 5 August 2010
Plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides are among the most important risk factors for coronary artery… Expand
Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology
- A. Locke, Bratati Kahali, +479 authors E. Speliotes
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 12 February 2015
Obesity is heritable and predisposes to many diseases. To understand the genetic basis of obesity better, here we conduct a genome-wide association study and Metabochip meta-analysis of body mass… Expand
Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal 18 new loci associated with body mass index
- E. Speliotes, C. Willer, +372 authors R. Loos
- Biology
- 2010
Obesity is globally prevalent and highly heritable, but its underlying genetic factors remain largely elusive. To identify genetic loci for obesity susceptibility, we examined associations between… Expand

Six new loci associated with body mass index highlight a neuronal influence on body weight regulation
- C. Willer, E. Speliotes, +142 authors J. Hirschhorn
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 2009
Common variants at only two loci, FTO and MC4R, have been reproducibly associated with body mass index (BMI) in humans. To identify additional loci, we conducted meta-analysis of 15 genome-wide… Expand
Discovery and Refinement of Loci Associated with Lipid Levels
- C. Willer, E. Schmidt, +256 authors G. Abecasis
- Medicine, Biology
- Nature Genetics
- 6 October 2013
Levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides and total cholesterol are heritable, modifiable risk factors for coronary artery… Expand
New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk
- J. Dupuis, C. Langenberg, +301 authors I. Barroso
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 17 January 2010
Levels of circulating glucose are tightly regulated. To identify new loci influencing glycemic traits, we performed meta-analyses of 21 genome-wide association studies informative for fasting… Expand
Large-scale association analysis provides insights into the genetic architecture and pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes
- A. Morris, B. Voight, +201 authors M. McCarthy
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 26 July 2012
To extend understanding of the genetic architecture and molecular basis of type 2 diabetes (T2D), we conducted a meta-analysis of genetic variants on the Metabochip, including 34,840 cases and… Expand
Common variants near MC4R are associated with fat mass, weight and risk of obesity
- R. Loos, C. Lindgren, +98 authors I. Barroso
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 1 June 2008
To identify common variants influencing body mass index (BMI), we analyzed genome-wide association data from 16,876 individuals of European descent. After previously reported variants in FTO, the… Expand
Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height
- A. Wood, T. Esko, +442 authors T. Frayling
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 8 September 2014
Using genome-wide data from 253,288 individuals, we identified 697 variants at genome-wide significance that together explained one-fifth of the heritability for adult height. By testing different… Expand
