Journal ArticleDOI

Common genetic variants influence human subcortical brain structures.

Derrek P. Hibar, +344 more
- 09 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conduct genome-wide association studies of the volumes of seven subcortical regions and the intracranial volume derived from magnetic resonance images of 30,717 individuals from 50 cohorts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of common variants associated with human hippocampal and intracranial volumes

Jason L. Stein, +237 more
- 01 May 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report genome-wide association meta-analyses and replication for mean bilateral hippocampal, total brain and intracranial volumes from a large multinational consortium.
Journal ArticleDOI

The transcriptional landscape of age in human peripheral blood

Marjolein J. Peters, +158 more
TL;DR: Differences between transcriptomic age and chronological age are associated with biological features linked to ageing, such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, fasting glucose, and body mass index and the transcriptomic prediction model adds biological relevance and complements existing epigenetic prediction models.
Journal ArticleDOI

New loci for body fat percentage reveal link between adiposity and cardiometabolic disease risk

Yingchang Lu, +311 more
TL;DR: The loci more strongly associated with BF% showed distinct cross-phenotype association signatures with a range of cardiometabolic traits revealing new insights in the link between adiposity and disease risk.
