      Bone mineral density is known to be a heritable, polygenic trait whereas genetic variants contributing to lean mass variation remain largely unknown. We estimated the shared SNP heritability and performed a bivariate GWAS ...
    • Genome-wide association analyses of physical activity and sedentary behavior provide insights into underlying mechanisms and roles in disease prevention 

      Wang, Zhe; Emmerich, Andrew; Pillon, Nicolas J.; Moore, Tim; Hemerich, Daiane; Cornelis, Marilyn C.; Mazzaferro, Eugenia; Broos, Siacia; Ahluwalia, Tarunveer S.; Bartz, Traci M.; Bentley, Amy R.; Bielak, Lawrence F.; Chong, Mike; Chu, Audrey Y.; Berry, Diane; Dorajoo, Rajkumar; Dueker, Nicole D.; Kasbohm, Elisa; Ekelund, Ulf; Hoed, Marcel den (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Although physical activity and sedentary behavior are moderately heritable, little is known about the mechanisms that influence these traits. Combining data for up to 703,901 individuals from 51 studies in a multi-ancestry ...
