Large trans-ethnic meta-analysis identifies AKR1C4 as a novel gene associated with age at menarche.
Human reproduction (Oxford, England) ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deab086

Study questionDoes the expansion of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to a broader range of ancestries improve the ability to identify and generalise variants associated with age at menarche (AAM) in European populations to a wider ran…

Protein-altering variants associated with body mass index implicate pathways that control energy intake and expenditure in obesity.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-017-0011-x

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 common, noncoding variants from which pinpointing causal gene…

Admixture mapping of pelvic organ prolapse in African Americans from the Women's Health Initiative Hormone Therapy trial.
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0178839

Evidence suggests European American (EA) women have two- to five-fold increased odds of having pelvic organ prolapse (POP) when compared with African American (AA) women. However, the role of genetic ancestry in relation to POP risk is not …

New genetic loci link adipose and insulin biology to body fat distribution.
Nature ·doi:10.1038/nature14132

Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links…
