Age-Related Clonal Hematopoiesis Associated with Adverse Outcomes

Age-related clonal hematopoiesis is a common condition that is associated with increases in the risk of hematologic cancer and in all-cause mortality, with the latter possibly d...

Genome-Wide Association Analysis Identifies Loci for Type 2 Diabetes and Triglyceride Levels

New strategies for prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) require improved insight into disease etiology. We analyzed 386,731 common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (...

Landscape of multi-nucleotide variants in 125,748 human exomes and 15,708 genomes

Quantifying the Impact of Rare and Ultra-rare Coding Variation across the Phenotypic Spectrum

There is a limited understanding about the impact of rare protein-truncating variants across multiple phenotypes. We explore the impact of this class of variants on 13 quantitat...

Ultra-rare disruptive and damaging mutations influence educational attainment in the general population

Clonal Hematopoiesis and Risk of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease

BACKGROUND: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), which is defined as the presence of an expanded somatic blood-cell clone in persons without other hematologic...
