Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology

Adam E. Locke, +481 more
TL;DR: This paper conducted a genome-wide association study and meta-analysis of body mass index (BMI), a measure commonly used to define obesity and assess adiposity, in up to 339,224 individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Type 2 diabetes mellitus after gestational diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: A comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies in which women who had developed type 2 diabetes after gestational diabetes were followed up between Jan 1, 1960, and Jan 31, 2009 to assess the strength of association between these conditions and the effect of factors that might modify the risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery and refinement of loci associated with lipid levels

Cristen J. Willer, +319 more
- 06 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is found that loci associated with blood lipid levels are often associated with cardiovascular and metabolic traits, including coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, blood pressure, waist-hip ratio and body mass index.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pre-eclampsia and risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer in later life: systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: A history of pre-eclampsia should be considered when evaluating risk of cardiovascular disease in women, and this association might reflect a common cause for pre- eClampsia and cardiovascular disease, or an effect ofPre-e Clampsia on disease development, or both.
Journal ArticleDOI

New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk

Josée Dupuis, +339 more
- 01 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that genetic studies of glycemic traits can identify type 2 diabetes risk loci, as well as loci containing gene variants that are associated with a modest elevation in glucose levels but are not associated with overt diabetes.
