Longitudinal adipose tissue single cell transcriptomics reveals genes and variants regulating weight loss after bariatric surgery

Seung Hyuk Lee, Asha Kar, Sini Heinonen…·Päivi Pajukanta

This study uses longitudinal single-cell adipose transcriptomics to identify genes and variants associated with weight loss after bariatric surgery and shows that BMI polygenic risk scores predict weight loss outcomes.

Integration of single cell omics with biobank data discovers trans effects of SREBF1 abdominal obesity risk variants on adipocyte expression of more than 100 genes

Mihir G. Sukhatme, Asha Kar, Uma Thanigai Arasu…·Päivi Pajukanta

The paper integrates single-cell omics with biobank data to show SREBF1 risk variants affect adipocyte gene expression in trans, impacting abdominal obesity.
