Abstract Our understanding of the genetic architecture of obesity is primarily based on studies of adults, with sparser data from childhood. Here, we conducted age-stratified genetic association studies against objectively measured (n = 62,276) or recalled childhood adiposity-related traits (neff = 599,924), identifying 624 common variants associated with childhood adiposity, with one-third having no concordant association with adult body mass index.
Abstract In addition to its coverage of the noncoding genome, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) may better capture the coding genome than exome sequencing. Here we sought to exploit this and identify new rare, protein-coding variants associated with metabolic health in WGS data (n = 708,956) from the UK Biobank and All of Us studies.
The spread of modern humans across the globe has led to genetic adaptations to diverse local environments. Recent developments in genomic technologies, statistical analyses, and expanded sampled populations have led to improved identification and fine-mapping of genetic variants associated with adaptations to regional living conditions and dietary practices.
