Genome-wide analysis identifies genetic effects on reproductive success and ongoing natural selection at the FADS locus

Nature human behaviour ·doi:10.1038/s41562-023-01528-6

Identifying genetic determinants of reproductive success may highlight mechanisms underlying fertility and identify alleles under present-day selection. Using data in 785,604 individuals of European ancestry, we identified 43 genomic loci a…

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…
