Metabolic and cardiovascular traits: an abundance of recently identified common genetic variants.

Human molecular genetics - 15 Oct 2008

Mohlke Karen L, Boehnke Michael, Abecasis Gonçalo R

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies are providing new insights into the genetic basis of metabolic and cardiovascular traits. In the past 3 years, common variants in approximately 50 loci have been strongly associated with metabolic and cardiovascular traits. Several of these loci have implicated genes without a previously known connection with metabolism. Further studies will be required to characterize the full...
