Randomly-selected, unrelated individuals
Genome-wide genotyping was performed on a population-based cohort from the capital region of Finland using the Illumina 610-Quad SNP microarray
Data Access Committee EGAC00001000660
The development of whole genome association studies from the general population has lead to the robust identification of several loci involved in different common human diseases. Interestingly, most of the strongest signals of association observed in these studies arise from non-coding regions, rais...
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 

Background

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a heritable marker of chronic inflammation that is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease. We sought to identify genetic variants that are associated with CRP levels.

Methods and results

We performed a genome-wide association analysis of...
Humans vary substantially in their willingness to take risks. In a combined sample of over 1 million individuals, we conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of general risk tolerance, adventurousness, and risky behaviors in the driving, drinking, smoking, and sexual domains. Across all GWAS...
