  • A Common Variant in the FTO Gene Is Associated with Body Mass Index and Predisposes to Childhood and Adult Obesity

    Open AccessTimothy M Frayling, Nicholas John Timpson et al.ARTICLEScience2007

    Obesity is a serious international health problem that increases the risk of several common diseases. The genetic factors predisposing to obesity are poorly understood. A genome-wide search for type 2 diabetesâ susceptibility genes identified a common variant in the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene that predisposes to diabetes through an effect on body mass index (BMI). An additive association of the variant with BMI was replicated in 1…

  • The International HapMap Project

    Open AccessRichard A Gibbs, John W Belmont et al.ARTICLENature2003

    The goal of the International HapMap Project is to determine the common patterns of DNA sequence variation in the human genome and to make this information freely available in the public domain. An international consortium is developing a map of these patterns across the genome by determining the genotypes of one million or more sequence variants, their frequencies and the degree of association between them, in DNA samples from populations with a…

  • Continuity and change in general cognitive ability from 1 to 7 years of age

    Lon R Cardon, David W Fulker et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology1992Cited by: 6References: 1

    Observed and latent sources of individual differences in cognitive development were explored in data from adopted and nonadopted siblings measured from 12 months to 7 years and identical and nonidentical twins measured from 12 to 36 months. Longitudinal path models, designed to examine the structure of observed stability and assess the genetic and environmental sources of age-to-age change and continuity, suggest that observed continuity arises f…
