The International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC) coordinates the generation of a
catalog of high-resolution reference epigenomes of major primary human cell types. The …

We carried out a trans-ancestry genome-wide association and replication study of blood
pressure phenotypes among up to 320,251 individuals of East Asian, European and South …

To identify the genetic bases for nine metabolic traits, we conducted a meta-analysis
combining Korean genome-wide association results from the KARE project (n = 8,842) and the …

Recent genetic association studies have identified 55 genetic loci associated with obesity or
body mass index (BMI). The vast majority, 51 loci, however, were identified in European-…

Firefighters have an elevated risk of cancer, which is suspected to be caused by occupational
and environmental exposure to fire smoke. Among many substances from fire smoke …

Background: Many studies have documented the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) alongside
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) in the management of ACL injury, …

Human height is associated with risk of multiple diseases and is profoundly determined by
an individual's genetic makeup and shows a high degree of ethnic heterogeneity. Large-scale …

Previous studies suggest arsenic exposure may increase the risk of gestational diabetes

Quantitative ultrasound of the heel captures heel bone properties that independently predict
fracture risk and, with bone mineral density (BMD) assessed by X-ray (DXA), may be …

Sixty genetic loci associated with abdominal obesity, measured by waist circumference (WC)
