Implicating genes, pleiotropy and sexual dimorphism at blood lipid loci through multi-ancestry meta-analysis

This study identifies 118 candidate causal genes and 21 novel lipid loci on the X chromosome through a multi-ancestry meta-analysis of blood lipid levels, revealing sex-biased effects and pleiotropy with cardiovascular and hormonal traits.

A multi-layer functional genomic analysis to understand noncoding genetic variation in lipids

This paper integrates GWAS data with functional genomic datasets to identify regulatory mechanisms and causal genes underlying lipid-related traits.

Rare coding variants in 35 genes associate with circulating lipid levels: a multi-ancestry analysis of 170,000 exomes

This study identifies 35 genes associated with circulating lipid levels using rare coding variants from 170,000 exomes across multiple ancestries.

Determinants of penetrance and variable expressivity in monogenic metabolic conditions across 77,184 exomes

The paper evaluates penetrance and variable expressivity of monogenic metabolic conditions using exome data from 77,184 individuals, finding that monogenic variants have larger effect sizes than polygenic scores but low penetrance.

Identification of type 2 diabetes loci in 433,540 East Asian individuals

This paper identifies 56 new type 2 diabetes loci in 433,540 East Asian individuals through a meta-analysis of GWAS data.

Genetic discovery and translational decision support from exome sequencing of 20,791 type 2 diabetes cases and 24,440 controls from five ancestries

This study identifies rare genetic variants associated with type 2 diabetes using exome sequencing of 20,791 cases and 24,440 controls, and provides a Bayesian framework to improve variant prioritization.

Refining The Accuracy Of Validated Target Identification Through Coding Variant Fine-Mapping In 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.
