Background: Recent findings from our group indicate that sex differences in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with idiopathic conditions or carrying pathogenic mutations significantly influence the blood occurrence of D and L-amino acids, lipids, antioxidants, and energy-related metabolites when ...
We investigated the cumulative contribution of rare, exonic genetic variants on the concentration of 1,487 metabolites and 53,714 metabolite ratios in urine by performing gene-based tests based on 226,233 variants from up to 4,864 participants of the German Chronic Kidney Disease (GCKD)...
Garrod’s concept of “chemical individuality” has contributed to comprehension of the molecular origins of human diseases. Untargeted high-throughput metabolomic technologies provide an in-depth snapshot of human metabolism at scale. We studied the genetic architecture of the human plasma metabolo...

BACKGROUND: Recent studies highlight the role of metabolites in immune diseases, but it remains unknown how much of this effect is driven by genetic and non-genetic host factors.
RESULT: We systematically investigate circulating metabolites in a cohort of 5...
