Scalable Deep Learning of Histology Images Reveals Genetic and Phenotypic Determinants of Adipocyte Hypertrophy
·doi:10.1101/2025.02.11.25322053

Background White adipose tissue dysfunction has emerged as a critical factor in cardiometabolic disease development, yet the cellular microstructure and genetic architecture of adipocyte morphology remain poorly explored. Methods We intro…

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…

Association of nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase mRNA expression in human adipose tissue and the plasma concentration of its product, 1-methylnicotinamide, with insulin resistance.
Diabetologia ·doi:10.1007/s00125-014-3490-7

Aims/hypothesisNicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT) was recently shown to be upregulated in mouse models of insulin resistance and obesity. So far, it is unknown whether NNMT is regulated in human disease. We have explored the hypothesis…

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…

Variants in CPA1 are strongly associated with early onset chronic pancreatitis.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/ng.2730

Chronic pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. We analyzed CPA1, encoding carboxypeptidase A1, in subjects with nonalcoholic chronic pancreatitis (cases) and controls in a German discovery set and three replication sets. …

Chymotrypsin C (CTRC) variants that diminish activity or secretion are associated with chronic pancreatitis.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/ng.2007.44

Chronic pancreatitis is a persistent inflammatory disease of the pancreas, in which the digestive protease trypsin has a fundamental pathogenetic role. Here we have analyzed the gene encoding the trypsin-degrading enzyme chymotrypsin C (CTR…
