Rare variant associations with birth weight identify genes involved in adipose tissue regulation, placental function and insulin-like growth factor signalling

The paper identifies rare genetic variants associated with birth weight, highlighting genes involved in adipose tissue regulation, placental function, and insulin-like growth factor signaling.

Understanding the genetic complexity of puberty timing across the allele frequency spectrum

This study identifies genetic signals associated with age at menarche, highlights genes involved in pubertal development, and links reproductive timing to later life disease risk.

Protein-truncating variants in BSN are associated with severe adult-onset obesity, type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease

The paper identifies protein-truncating variants in BSN associated with severe adult-onset obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease, with no effect on childhood adiposity.
