Genetic liability to metabolic dysfunction modelled in early adulthood predicts cardiometabolic risk across the life course in Asian populations

Hong Pan, Evelyn Lau, Yurui Chen…·Dennis Y.Q. Wang

This paper develops a polygenic score for metabolic syndrome in early adulthood and shows it predicts cardiometabolic risk across the life course in Asian populations.

Characterisation of the genetic determinants of context specific DNA methylation in primary monocytes

James J. Gilchrist, Hai Fang, Sara Danielli…·Benjamin Peter Fairfax

The paper characterizes genetic determinants of context-specific DNA methylation in primary monocytes exposed to inflammatory stimuli, identifying 209 CpGs under genetic control and linking them to disease.
