We report genome-wide association studies for hematological and biochemical traits from∼
14,700 Japanese individuals. We identified 60 associations for 8 hematological traits and 29 …

Red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet measures, including their count, sub-type and
volume, are important diagnostic and prognostic clinical parameters for several human …

Current genome-wide association studies do not yet capture sufficient diversity in
populations and scope of phenotypes. To expand an atlas of genetic associations in non …

The availability of affordable high throughput technology for parallel genotyping has opened
the field of genetics to genome‐wide association studies (GWAS), and in the last few years …

The overwhelming majority of participants in current genetic studies are of European
ancestry. To elucidate disease biology in the East Asian population, we conducted a …

Annotations of gene structures and regulatory elements can inform genome-wide
association studies (GWASs). However, choosing the relevant annotations for interpreting …

Background: The wide use of genome wide association studies (GWAS) has led to the
successful identification of multiple genetic susceptibility variants to several complex human …

Clinical laboratory tests are a critical component of the continuum of care. We evaluate the
genetic basis of 35 blood and urine laboratory measurements in the UK Biobank (n …

The successes of genome-wide association (GWA) studies have mainly come from studies
performed in populations of European descent. Since complex traits are characterized by …

Blood cells participate in vital physiological processes, and their numbers are tightly
regulated so that homeostasis is maintained. Disruption of key regulatory mechanisms …
