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...
The human plasma proteome is clinically highly significant and has been studied extensively because it is thought that its molecular makeup provides a window into the health state of an individual. However, neither the quantitative variability of the plasma proteome nor the origins of the variation ...
MolPAGE is an integrated EU project that aims to develop methods and tools for discovery of biomarkers associated with diabetes (see www.ocdem.ox.ac.uk for MolOBB and www.twinsuk.ac.uk for MolTWIN).
European populations and epidemiological cohorts are of special significance in the current era of genomic research aiming to characterize the background of common human diseases. The genome sequence, detailed information of genetic variations between individuals, high-throughput molecular technolog...
Access to data generated by the GenomeEUtwin is available by emailing application to the data access committee and will be granted to qualified investigators for appropriate use.
Summary statistics for a multi-cohort epigenome-wide association study. This includes summary statistics (effect-size, standard error, p-value) for 470,000 methylation markers.
Overweight and obesity affect ~1.5 billion people worldwide, and are major risk factors for type-2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease and related metabolic and inflammatory disturbances.1,2 Although the mechanisms linking adiposity to its clinical sequelae are poorly understood, recent studies s...
