Engaging the complexity of diet and healthy aging in humans

Alistair McNair Senior, Véronique Legault, Francis B. Lavoie, Nancy Presse, Pierrette Gaudreau, Valérie Turcot, David Raubenheimer, David George Le Couteur, Stephen James Simpson, Alan Arthur Cohen

This study uses nutritional geometry to analyze how dietary patterns affect aging in 1560 older adults, finding that optimal nutrient levels are often intermediate and context-dependent.

PROTEIN-CODING VARIANTS IMPLICATE NOVEL GENES RELATED TO LIPID HOMEOSTASIS CONTRIBUTING TO BODY FAT DISTRIBUTION

Anne E. Justice, Tugce Karaderi, Heather M. Highland, Kristin L. Young, Mariaelisa Graff, Yingchang Lu, Valérie Turcot, Paul Livermore Auer, Rebecca S. Fine, Xiuqing Guo, Claudia Schurmann, Adelheid M. Lempradl, Eirini Marouli, Anubha Mahajan, Thomas W. Winkler, , Andrew Tym Hattersley

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.

Exome chip meta-analysis elucidates the genetic architecture of rare coding variants in smoking and drinking behavior

David M. Brazel, Yu Jiang, Jordan M. Hughey, Valérie Turcot, Xiaowei Zhan, Jian Gong, Chiara Batini, J. Dylan Weissenkampen, Mengzhen Liu, Daniel R. Barnes, Sarah E. Bertelsen, Yi‐Ling Chou, Abdullah Mesut Erzurumluoglu, Jessica D. Faul, Jeff Haessler, , Jean Ferrières

The paper analyzes rare coding variants in smoking and drinking behavior using exome chip data, finding that they contribute to phenotypic variation but require larger samples for individual variant associations.
