To identify loci for age at menarche, we performed a meta-analysis of 32 genome-wide
association studies in 87,802 women of European descent, with replication in up to 14,731 …

Age at menarche is a marker of timing of puberty in females. It varies widely between
individuals, is a heritable trait and is associated with risks for obesity, type 2 diabetes, …

Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is characterized by the presence of islet
autoantibodies and initial insulin independence, which can lead to misdiagnosis of type 2 …

The timing of puberty is a highly polygenic childhood trait that is epidemiologically associated
with various adult diseases. Using 1000 Genomes Project–imputed genotype data in up to …

Birth weight (BW) has been shown to be influenced by both fetal and maternal factors and in
observational studies is reproducibly associated with future risk of adult metabolic diseases …

Birth weight variation is influenced by fetal and maternal genetic and non-genetic factors,
and has been reproducibly associated with future cardio-metabolic health outcomes. In …

Personality can be thought of as a set of characteristics that influence people's thoughts,
feelings and behavior across a variety of settings. Variation in personality is predictive of many …

Birth weight within the normal range is associated with a variety of adult-onset diseases, but
the mechanisms behind these associations are poorly understood 1 . Previous genome-…

A large number of genetic loci are associated with adult body mass index. However, the
genetics of childhood body mass index are largely unknown. We performed a meta-analysis of …

To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of adiposity and its links to cardiometabolic
disease risk, we conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of body fat …
