Interindividual variation in mean leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is associated with cancer
and several age-associated diseases. We report here a genome-wide meta-analysis of …

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a commonly occurring chronic skin disease with high heritability.
Apart from filaggrin (FLG), the genes influencing atopic dermatitis are largely unknown. We …

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-…

Context: Obesity in adults is associated with shorter mean leukocyte telomere length (LTL),
a marker of biological age that is also associated with age-related conditions including …

Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a heritable biomarker of genomic aging. In this study, we
perform a genome-wide meta-analysis of LTL by pooling densely genotyped and imputed …

To identify genetic variants associated with head circumference in infancy, we performed a
meta-analysis of seven genome-wide association studies (GWAS) (N = 10,768 individuals of …

Common genetic variants have been identified for adult height, but not much is known
about the genetics of skeletal growth in early life. To identify common genetic variants that …

Several clinical studies suggest the involvement of premature ageing processes in chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Using an epidemiological approach, we studied …

Early childhood growth patterns are associated with adult health, yet the genetic factors and
the developmental stages involved are not fully understood. Here, we combine genome-…

Carboxypeptidase E is a peptide processing enzyme, involved in cleaving numerous
peptide precursors, including neuropeptides and hormones involved in appetite control and …
