Meta-analysis of 49(cid:0)549 individuals imputed with the 1000 Genomes Project reveals an exonic damaging variant in ANGPTL4 determining fasting TG levels
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.
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.

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...
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.

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.

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.
