Incretin peptides, principally GLP-1 and GIP, regulate islet hormone secretion, glucose concentrations, lipid metabolism, gut motility, appetite and body weight, and immune …
Current catalogs of regulatory sequences in the human genome are still incomplete and lack cell type resolution. To profile the activity of gene regulatory elements in diverse cell types …
Genetic risk variants that have been identified in genome-wide association studies of complex diseases are primarily non-coding. Translating these risk variants into mechanistic …
Metabolic responses to food influence risk of cardiometabolic disease, but large-scale high- resolution studies are lacking. We recruited n= 1,002 twins and unrelated healthy adults in …
Microbiome-wide association studies on large population cohorts have highlighted associations between the gut microbiome and complex traits, including type 2 diabetes …
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 …
Meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 240 loci that are associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D),; however, most of these loci have been …
Background Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a heterogeneous disease for which (1) disease- causing pathways are incompletely understood and (2) subclassification may improve …
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 …
