UnknownLow-Frequency Synonymous Coding Variation in CYP2R1 Has Large Effects on Vitamin D Levels and Risk of Multiple Sclerosis.
Vitamin D insufficiency is common, correctable, and influenced by genetic factors, and it has been associated with risk of several diseases. We sought to identify low-frequency genetic variants that strongly increase the risk of vitamin D insufficiency and tested their effect on risk of multiple scl...

UnknownGenome-wide meta-analysis of muscle weakness identifies 15 susceptibility loci in older men and women.
Low muscle strength is an important heritable indicator of poor health linked to morbidity and mortality in older people. In a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of 256,523 Europeans aged 60 years and over from 22 cohorts we identify 15 loci associated with muscle weakness (European Working...

UnknownLarge-scale GWAS identifies multiple loci for hand grip strength providing biological insights into muscular fitness.
Hand grip strength is a widely used proxy of muscular fitness, a marker of frailty, and predictor of a range of morbidities and all-cause mortality. To investigate the genetic determinants of variation in grip strength, we perform a large-scale genetic discovery analysis in a combined sample of 195,...

Genomicsgenotyped_bacterial_meningitis
This study includes 1146 samples of host genotyping data (genotyped) from Illumina Omni arrays. Samples were collected from adults (>16 yrs) patients with CSF confirmed bacterial meningitis in the Netherlands between 2006 and 2015. Metadata includes patient outcome, species of bacteria, and for 4...

GenomicsHost genotyping data from Dutch adult bacterial meningitis patients and linked bacterial genome sequences
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common nasopharyngeal colonizer, but can also cause life-threatening invasive diseases such as empyema, bacteremia and meningitis. Genetic variation of host and pathogen is known to play a role in invasive pneumococcal disease, though to what extent is unknown. This st...

UnknownDisentangling the genetics of lean mass.

Background

Lean body mass (LM) plays an important role in mobility and metabolic function. We previously identified five loci associated with LM adjusted for fat mass in kilograms. Such an adjustment may reduce the power to identify genetic signals having an association with both lean mass a...

UnknownA saturated map of common genetic variants associated with human height.
Common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are predicted to collectively explain 40-50% of phenotypic variation in human height, but identifying the specific variants and associated regions requires huge sample sizes1. Here, using data from a genome-wide association study of 5.4 millio...

UnknownPolygenic prediction of body mass index and obesity through the life course and across ancestries.
Polygenic scores (PGSs) for body mass index (BMI) may guide early prevention and targeted treatment of obesity. Using genetic data from up to 5.1 million people (4.6% African ancestry, 14.4% American ancestry, 8.4% East Asian ancestry, 71.1% European ancestry and 1.5% South Asian ancestry) from the ...
