An expanded genome-wide association study of type 2 diabetes in Europeans

…, A Kong, G Sigurðsson, ND Kerrison… - Diabetes, 2017 - Am Diabetes Assoc
To characterize type 2 diabetes (T2D)-associated variation across the allele frequency spectrum,
we conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association data from 26,676 T2D case …

Mapping the proteo-genomic convergence of human diseases

…, E Oerton, J Cook, ID Stewart, ND Kerrison… - Science, 2021 - science.org
INTRODUCTION Proteins are essential functional units of the human body and represent

Genetic fine mapping and genomic annotation defines causal mechanisms at type 2 diabetes susceptibility loci

…, ME Jørgensen, T Jørgensen, WHL Kao, ND Kerrison… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
We performed fine mapping of 39 established type 2 diabetes (T2D) loci in 27,206 cases and
57,574 controls of European ancestry. We identified 49 distinct association signals at these …

Structure, function and evolution of multidomain proteins

C Vogel, M Bashton, ND Kerrison, C Chothia… - Current opinion in …, 2004 - Elsevier
Proteins are composed of evolutionary units called domains; the majority of proteins consist
of at least two domains. These domains and nature of their interactions determine the …
