Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology

…, J Laitinen, C Lamina, K Leander, NR Lee, P Lichtner… - Nature, 2015 - nature.com
Obesity is heritable and predisposes to many diseases. To understand the genetic basis of
obesity better, here we conduct a genome-wide association study and Metabochip meta-…

[HTML][HTML] Mutations in LRRK2 cause autosomal-dominant parkinsonism with pleomorphic pathology

A Zimprich, S Biskup, P Leitner, P Lichtner, M Farrer… - Neuron, 2004 - cell.com
We have previously linked families with autosomal-dominant, late-onset parkinsonism to
chromosome 12p11.2-q13.1 (PARK8). By high-resolution recombination mapping and …

Genome-wide association study identifies 74 loci associated with educational attainment

…, MP Lebreton, DF Levinson, P Lichtenstein, P Lichtner… - Nature, 2016 - nature.com
Educational attainment is strongly influenced by social and other environmental factors, but
genetic factors are estimated to account for at least 20% of the variation across individuals 1. …

New genetic loci link adipose and insulin biology to body fat distribution

…, W Kratzer, C Lamina, K Leander, NR Lee, P Lichtner… - Nature, 2015 - nature.com
Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic
outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic …

Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk

…, RK Schmutzler, B Müller-Myhsok, P Lichtner… - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
… We identified SNPs at 41 new breast cancer susceptibility loci at genome-wide significance
(P < 5 × 10 −8 ). Further analyses suggest that more than 1,000 additional loci are involved …

Genome-wide association study reveals genetic risk underlying Parkinson's disease

…, JR Gibbs, D Berg, C Paisan-Ruiz, P Lichtner… - Nature …, 2009 - nature.com
… The results of the analysis are shown as log-transformed P values color coded to match
the transcript of interest. Notably, genotypes across this locus are associated with MAPT (pink) …

GWAS of 126,559 individuals identifies genetic variants associated with educational attainment

…, T Lehtimäki, J Li, P Lichtenstein, P Lichtner… - science, 2013 - science.org
A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of educational attainment was conducted in a
discovery sample of 101,069 individuals and a replication sample of 25,490. Three …

Polymorphisms in FKBP5 are associated with increased recurrence of depressive episodes and rapid response to antidepressant treatment

EB Binder, D Salyakina, P Lichtner, GM Wochnik… - Nature …, 2004 - nature.com
… Removing these restrictions turned out not to alter our conclusions, with P values changing
only minimally. For the analysis of the LD pattern and haplotype block delineation, we used …

Continuum model for simultaneous chemical reactions and mass transport in hydrothermal systems

PC Lichtner - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1985 - Elsevier
… In such circumstances each REV is in a state of partial equilibrium; that is, in thermal and
mechanical equilibrium at some temperature T and pressure p, but generally in disequilibrium …

Haploinsufficiency of TBK1 causes familial ALS and fronto-temporal dementia

…, AE Volk, P Kursula, KM Danzer, P Lichtner… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
… We found that the mutations in the CCD2 domain (p.690-713del and p.Glu696Lys) rendered
TBK1 unable to bind … The kinase activities of overexpressed TBK1 p.690-713del and …
