TL;DR

This study illustrates that GWAS with high-scale imputation may still help to unravel the biological mechanism behind circulating lipid levels and identifies more new rare and low-frequency functional variants associated with circulating lipid levels.

Suggestive genome-wide associations with inflammatory biomarkers in an admixed population, including a missense variant in the OR6K6 olfactory receptor gene associated with MCP-1

New SNPs linked to inflammatory biomarkers in a highly admixed Brazilian population are identified, including a missense variant in an olfactory receptor gene linked to MCP-1, which may be biologically important for inflammation and could affect the risk of cardiometabolic diseases.

Trans-ancestry meta-analysis of genome-wide association study identifies eight novel genetic loci in type 1 diabetes: A multi-population study.

BACKGROUND Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a common disease. Although genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified hundreds of associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), very few T1D GWAS have simultaneously addressed both Asian and European populations. METHODS Here, we conducted a large-scale trans-ance...

Evidence from European ancestry genome-wide association studies and a case-control study suggests several selenoproteins are linked to a decreased risk of Alzheimer's disease

Genetic and clinical evidence is provided that specific selenoproteins are associated with a decreased risk of AD and highlight the potential role of these proteins in AD pathophysiology and suggest their promise as biomarkers or therapeutic targets, warranting further investigation.

Multi-population GWAS meta-analysis identifies bladder cancer susceptibility loci and highlights genetic regulation of smoking-related risk

A multi-population meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies, including 32,470 individuals with and 1,753,462 without bladder cancer, identifies 70 independent risk loci, of which 43 are novel, and uses experimental approaches to uncover how inherited variation influences this risk in the context of smoking.

LPA genetic variation is associated with type 2 diabetes after adjustment for lipoprotein(a) concentration: results of the Aragon Workers’ health study

The findings suggest that common LPA variation represented by the 15-SNV genetic score may contribute to T2D risk through mechanisms not fully captured by circulating Lp(a) concentration alone.
