The endocannabinoid 2‐arachidonoylglycerol (2‐AG) is a lipid mediator involved in various
physiological processes. In response to neural activity, 2‐AG is synthesized post‐…

The aim of this systematic review was to identify the reported barriers to regular exercise
among adults either at high risk or already diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D), because of …

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-…

Most common human traits and diseases have a polygenic pattern of inheritance: DNA
sequence variants at many genetic loci influence the phenotype. Genome-wide association (GWA…

Blood pressure is a heritable trait 1 influenced by several biological pathways and responsive
to environmental stimuli. Over one billion people worldwide have hypertension (≥140 mm …

Smoking is a common risk factor for many diseases 1 . We conducted genome-wide
association meta-analyses for the number of cigarettes smoked per day (CPD) in smokers (n = …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of longitudinal birth cohorts enable joint investigation
of environmental and genetic influences on complex traits. We report GWAS results for …

Approaches exploiting trait distribution extremes may be used to identify loci associated
with common traits, but it is unknown whether these loci are generalizable to the broader …

To identify genetic loci influencing central obesity and fat distribution, we performed a meta-analysis
of 16 genome-wide association studies (GWAS, N = 38,580) informative for adult …

Genome-wide association studies have identified common variants that only partially explain
the genetic risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Using genome-wide association data from 1,376 …
