Height is a highly heritable, classic polygenic trait with approximately 700 common associated
variants identified through genome-wide association studies so far. Here, we report 83 …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >250 loci for body mass index (BMI),
implicating pathways related to neuronal biology. Most GWAS loci represent clusters of …

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are a valuable tool for understanding the
biology of complex human traits and diseases, but associated variants rarely point directly to …

Prenatal stress exposure is associated with adverse psychiatric outcomes, including autism
and ADHD, as well as locomotor and social inhibition and anxiety-like behaviors in animal …

Body-fat distribution is a risk factor for adverse cardiovascular health consequences. We
analyzed the association of body-fat distribution, assessed by waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for …

Leptin influences food intake by informing the brain about the status of body fat stores. Rare
LEP mutations associated with congenital leptin deficiency cause severe early-onset obesity …

Circulating levels of adiponectin, an adipocyte-secreted protein associated with cardiovascular
and metabolic risk, are highly heritable. To gain insights into the biology that regulates …

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are valuable for understanding human biology,
but associated loci typically contain multiple associated variants and genes. Thus, …

Although many loci have been associated with height in European ancestry populations, very
few have been identified in African ancestry individuals. Furthermore, many of the known …

In the version of this article originally published, one of the two authors with the name Wei
Zhao was omitted from the author list and the affiliations for both authors were assigned to the …
