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 ]]> Protein-coding variants implicate novel genes related to lipid homeostasis contributing to body-fat distribution https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42033 Drosophila RNAi-knockdowns, we observed a significant increase in the total body triglyceride levels for two genes (DNAH10 and PLXND1). We implicate novel genes in fat distribution, stressing the importance of interrogating low-frequency and protein-coding variants.]]> Mon 22 Aug 2022 10:16:20 AEST ]]> Implicating genes, pleiotropy, and sexual dimorphism at blood lipid loci through multi-ancestry meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53055 Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:47:02 AEDT ]]>
