New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk

open access: yesNature Genetics, 2010
Levels of circulating glucose are tightly regulated. To identify new loci influencing glycemic traits, we performed meta-analyses of 21 genome-wide association studies informative for fasting glucose, fasting insulin and indices of beta-cell function ...

Planck 2013 results. XVI. Cosmological parameters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This paper presents the first cosmological results based on Planck measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and lensing-potential power spectra. We find that the Planck spectra at high multipoles (l greater than or similar to 40)

Genetic studies of body mass index yield new insights for obesity biology

open access: yesNature, 2015
Obesity is heritable and predisposes to many diseases. To understand the genetic basis of obesity better, here we conduct a genome-wide association study and Metabochip meta-analysis of body mass index (BMI), a measure commonly used to define obesity and
