AbstractThe genetics of β-cell function (BCF) offer valuable insights into the aetiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D)1,2. Previous studies have expanded the catalogue of BCF genetic associations through candidate gene studies3,4,5,6,7, large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of fasting BCF8,9 or functional islet studies on T2D risk variants10,11,12,13,14.

AbstractAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin condition and prior genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 71 associated loci. In the current study we conducted the largest AD GWAS to date (discovery N = 1,086,394, replication N = 3,604,027), combining previously reported cohorts with additional available data.

1 IntroductionObesity has now become a global epidemic with an alarmingly increasing rate of incidence (1). The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the worldwide prevalence of obesity nearly tripled between 1975 and 2016 and is expected to double in the next 25 years (2, 3). Different ethnicities exhibit different rates of obesity. This is evident in the different rates of obesity in ethnicities such as those of Southeast Asians, Arabs, and South Asians.
