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-…

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 …

Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic
outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic …

This study was designed to determine the potential importance of airway wall thickening in
the pathogenesis of the excess airways narrowing of asthma. The airways in postmortem …

Pulmonary function measures are heritable traits that predict morbidity and mortality and
define chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We tested genome-wide association …

Through genome-wide association meta-analyses of up to 133,010 individuals of European
ancestry without diabetes, including individuals newly genotyped using the Metabochip, we …

Background Exacerbations of asthma cause a substantial global illness burden. Adults with
uncontrolled persistent asthma despite maintenance treatment require additional therapy. …

Asthma in adults may be associated with chronic airflow obstruction, possibly resulting from
airway disease in early life and/or a greater rate of decline in lung function in adult life …
