This study performs a GWAS on random glucose measurements in 493,036 individuals, identifying 128 loci associated with glycaemic traits and providing insights into diabetes biology and treatment.

This study identifies 242 genetic loci for glycaemic traits using trans-ancestry meta-analysis, finding 99 novel loci and improved fine-mapping resolution compared to single-ancestry analyses.

The paper identifies genetic variants and transcripts associated with glycemic traits by analyzing exome-array data from 144,600 individuals, highlighting tissue-specific roles in glucose regulation.

This study identifies 15 common and 9 low-frequency protein-coding variants associated with body fat distribution, implicating novel genes related to lipid homeostasis and type 2 diabetes.

This study identifies 16 causal coding variants in type 2 diabetes using fine-mapping and shows that one third of signals are false leads.
