    Description: Obesity has become a major worldwide challenge to public health, owing to an interaction between the Western 'obesogenic' environment and a strong genetic contribution. Recent extensive genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with obesity, but these loci together account for only a small fraction of the known heritable component. Thus, the 'common disease, common variant' hypothesis is increasingly coming under challenge. Here we report a highly penetrant form of obesity, initially observed in 31 subjects who were heterozygous for deletions of at least 593 kilobases at 16p11.2 and whose ascertainment included cognitive deficits. Nineteen similar deletions were identified from GWAS data in 16,053 individuals from eight European cohorts. These deletions were absent from healthy non-obese controls and accounted for 0.7% of our morbid obesity cases (body mass index (BMI) 〉or= 40 kg m(-2) or BMI standard deviation score 〉or= 4; P = 6.4 x 10(-8), odds ratio 43.0), demonstrating the potential importance in common disease of rare variants with strong effects. This highlights a promising strategy for identifying missing heritability in obesity and other complex traits: cohorts with extreme phenotypes are likely to be enriched for rare variants, thereby improving power for their discovery. Subsequent analysis of the loci so identified may well reveal additional rare variants that further contribute to the missing heritability, as recently reported for SIM1 (ref. 3). The most productive approach may therefore be to combine the 'power of the extreme' in small, well-phenotyped cohorts, with targeted follow-up in case-control and population cohorts.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2880448/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2880448/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Walters, R G -- Jacquemont, S -- Valsesia, A -- de Smith, A J -- Martinet, D -- Andersson, J -- Falchi, M -- Chen, F -- Andrieux, J -- Lobbens, S -- Delobel, B -- Stutzmann, F -- El-Sayed Moustafa, J S -- Chevre, J-C -- Lecoeur, C -- Vatin, V -- Bouquillon, S -- Buxton, J L -- Boute, O -- Holder-Espinasse, M -- Cuisset, J-M -- Lemaitre, M-P -- Ambresin, A-E -- Brioschi, A -- Gaillard, M -- Giusti, V -- Fellmann, F -- Ferrarini, A -- Hadjikhani, N -- Campion, D -- Guilmatre, A -- Goldenberg, A -- Calmels, N -- Mandel, J-L -- Le Caignec, C -- David, A -- Isidor, B -- Cordier, M-P -- Dupuis-Girod, S -- Labalme, A -- Sanlaville, D -- Beri-Dexheimer, M -- Jonveaux, P -- Leheup, B -- Ounap, K -- Bochukova, E G -- Henning, E -- Keogh, J -- Ellis, R J -- Macdermot, K D -- van Haelst, M M -- Vincent-Delorme, C -- Plessis, G -- Touraine, R -- Philippe, A -- Malan, V -- Mathieu-Dramard, M -- Chiesa, J -- Blaumeiser, B -- Kooy, R F -- Caiazzo, R -- Pigeyre, M -- Balkau, B -- Sladek, R -- Bergmann, S -- Mooser, V -- Waterworth, D -- Reymond, A -- Vollenweider, P -- Waeber, G -- Kurg, A -- Palta, P -- Esko, T -- Metspalu, A -- Nelis, M -- Elliott, P -- Hartikainen, A-L -- McCarthy, M I -- Peltonen, L -- Carlsson, L -- Jacobson, P -- Sjostrom, L -- Huang, N -- Hurles, M E -- O'Rahilly, S -- Farooqi, I S -- Mannik, K -- Jarvelin, M-R -- Pattou, F -- Meyre, D -- Walley, A J -- Coin, L J M -- Blakemore, A I F -- Froguel, P -- Beckmann, J S -- 077014/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 079534/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 082390/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 089061/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 1RL1MH083268-01/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- 5R01HL087679-02/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- 5R01MH63706:02/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- G0500539/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G0600331/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G0600331(77796)/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G0900554/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2010 Feb 4;463(7281):671-5. doi: 10.1038/nature08727.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Section of Genomic Medicine, Imperial College London, London W12 0NN, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20130649" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Platelets are the second most abundant cell type in blood and are essential for maintaining haemostasis. Their count and volume are tightly controlled within narrow physiological ranges, but there is only limited understanding of the molecular processes controlling both traits. Here we carried out a high-powered meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in up to 66,867 individuals of European ancestry, followed by extensive biological and functional assessment. We identified 68 genomic loci reliably associated with platelet count and volume mapping to established and putative novel regulators of megakaryopoiesis and platelet formation. These genes show megakaryocyte-specific gene expression patterns and extensive network connectivity. Using gene silencing in Danio rerio and Drosophila melanogaster, we identified 11 of the genes as novel regulators of blood cell formation. Taken together, our findings advance understanding of novel gene functions controlling fate-determining events during megakaryopoiesis and platelet formation, providing a new example of successful translation of GWAS to function.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3335296/" target="_blank"〉〈img
