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 …

Glycemic traits are used to diagnose and monitor type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic health.
To date, most genetic studies of glycemic traits have focused on individuals of European …

Background : Myocardial mass is a key determinant of cardiac muscle function and
hypertrophy. Myocardial depolarization leading to cardiac muscle contraction is reflected by the …

Large consortia have revealed hundreds of genetic loci associated with anthropometric traits,
one trait at a time. We examined whether genetic variants affect body shape as a …

The genetic sequence variation of people from the Indian subcontinent who comprise one-quarter
of the world's population, is not well described. We carried out whole genome …

BACKGROUND: Myocardial mass is a key determinant of cardiac muscle function and
hypertrophy. Myocardial depolarization leading to cardiac muscle contraction is reflected by the …

Background Radiotherapy plus concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide (RCAT) is now
standard treatment for grade IV glioblastoma (GBM). We report the results from our 7 years …

Aims/hypothesis Characterisation of genetic variation that influences the response to
glucose-lowering medications is instrumental to precision medicine for treatment of type 2 diabetes. …

Cerebrovascular diseases represent 2nd leading cause of death worldwide. Understanding
how genetic predispositions and their interaction with environmental factors affect …

Obesity-associated mortality is exacerbated by high abdominal obesity. Here, we identify
genes associated with obesity and waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index (WHRadjBMI…
