Polygenic basis and biomedical consequences of telomere length variation
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-021-00944-6

Telomeres, the end fragments of chromosomes, play key roles in cellular proliferation and senescence. Here we characterize the genetic architecture of naturally occurring variation in leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and identify causal link…

Protein-altering variants associated with body mass index implicate pathways that control energy intake and expenditure in obesity
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-017-0011-x

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >250 loci for body mass index (BMI), implicating pathways related to neuronal biology. Most GWAS loci represent clusters of common, noncoding variants from which pinpointing causal gene…
