  • Identification of ten loci associated with height highlights new biological pathways in human growth - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 18391950

    ABSTRACT: Height is a classic polygenic trait, reflecting the combined influence of multiple as-yet-undiscovered genetic factors. We carried out a meta-analysis of genome-wide association study data of height from 15,821 individuals at 2.2 million SNPs, and followed up the strongest findings in >10,000 subjects. Ten newly identified and two previously reported loci were strongly associated with variation in height (P values from 4 × 10-7 to 8 × 10-22). Together, these 12 loci account for ~2% of the population variation in height. Individuals with ≤8 height-increasing alleles and ≥16 height-increasing alleles differ in height by ~3.5 cm. The newly identified loci, along with several additional loci with strongly suggestive associations, encompass both strong biological candidates and

  • Genome-wide association studies and heritability analysis reveal the involvement of host genetics in the Japanese gut microbiota - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33208821

    ABSTRACT: Numerous host extrinsic and intrinsic factors affect the gut microbiota composition, but their cumulative effects do not sufficiently explain the variation in the microbiota, suggesting contributions of missing factors. The Japanese population possesses homogeneous genetic features suitable for genome-wide association study (GWAS). Here, we performed GWASs for human gut microbiota using 1068 healthy Japanese adults. To precisely evaluate genetic effects, we corrected for the impacts of numerous host extrinsic and demographic factors by introducing them as covariates, enabling us to discover five loci significantly associated with microbiome diversity measures: HS3ST4, C2CD2, 2p16.1, 10p15.1, and 18q12.2. Nevertheless, these five variants explain only a small fraction of the varia
