A number of these loci contain genes implicated in structure and function of skeletal muscle fibres (ACTG1), neuronal maintenance and signal transduction (PEX14, TGFA, SYT1), or monogenic syndromes with involvement of psychomotor impairment (PEX14, LRPPRC and KANSL1). Mendelian randomization analyses are consistent with a causal effect of higher genetically predicted grip strength on lower fracture risk. In conclusion, our findings provide new biological insight into the mechanistic underpinnings of grip strength and the causal role of muscular strength in age-related morbidities and mortality.]]> Wed 04 Sep 2019 09:48:47 AEST ]]> Novel loci for childhood body mass index and shared heritability with adult cardiometabolic traits https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41815 Fri 12 Aug 2022 12:45:25 AEST ]]>
