Five loci demonstrate clear evidence of several independent association signals, and many loci have significant effects on other metabolic phenotypes. The 97 loci account for ~2.7% of BMI variation, and genome-wide estimates suggest that common variation accounts for >20% of BMI variation. Pathway analyses provide strong support for a role of the central nervous system in obesity susceptibility and implicate new genes and pathways, including those related to synaptic function, glutamate signalling, insulin secretion/action, energy metabolism, lipid biology and adipogenesis.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:32:44 AEDT ]]> Variants associated with HHIP expression have sexdifferential effects on lung function https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41061 HHIP) gene and was previously associated with lung function and HHIP lung expression. We found HHIP expression was significantly different between the sexes (P=6.90x10⁻⁶), but we could not detect sex differential effects of rs7697189 on expression. Conclusions: We identified a novel genotype-by-sex interaction at a putative enhancer region upstream of the HHIP gene. Establishing the mechanism by which HHIP SNPs have different effects on lung function in males and females will be important for our understanding of lung health and diseases in both sexes.]]> Fri 22 Jul 2022 13:18:47 AEST ]]> Genome-wide association analysis identifies ancestry-specific genetic variation associated with acute response to metformin and glipizide in SUGAR-MGH https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51706 Fri 15 Sep 2023 14:02:18 AEST ]]>
