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 ]]> Shared genetic basis for migraine and ischemic stroke: a genome-wide analysis of common variants https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25600 -28 for the LAS polygenic score in MO) and between MO and cardioembolic stroke (CE; p 2.7 x 10-20 for the CE score in MO). Conclusions: Our findings indicate shared genetic susceptibility to migraine and IS, with a particularly strong overlap between MO and both LAS and CE pointing towards shared mechanisms. Our observations on MA are consistent with a limited role of common genetic variants in this subtype.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:03 AEDT ]]>
