He J, Stryjecki C, Reddon H, Peralta-Romero J, Karam-Araujo R, Suarez F, et al.
Sci Rep . 2019 Mar; 9(1):3084. PMID: 30816311
The adipocyte-derived adiponectin hormone bridges obesity and its cardio-metabolic complications. Genetic variants at the ADIPOQ locus, in ADIPOR1, and ADIPOR2 have been associated with adiponectin concentrations and cardio-metabolic complications in...

Wang D, Kaur Y, Alyass A, Meyre D
Diabetes . 2019 Jan; 68(4):724-732. PMID: 30692245
We hypothesized that monogenic syndromic obesity genes are also involved in the polygenic variation of BMI. Single-marker, tag single nucleotide polymorphism (tagSNP) and gene-based analysis were performed on common variants...

Liu H, Alyass A, Abadi A, Peralta-Romero J, Suarez F, Gomez-Zamudio J, et al.
Int J Obes (Lond) . 2018 May; 43(1):23-32. PMID: 29769702
Background/objectives: Mexico has one of the highest prevalence of childhood obesity in the world. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for obesity have identified multiple single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in populations of European,...

Morassut R, Langlois C, Alyass A, Ishola A, Yazdi F, Mayhew A, et al.
BMJ Open . 2017 Dec; 7(12):e019365. PMID: 29229660
Introduction: Obesity is a global epidemic and is a risk factor for developing other comorbidities. Young adulthood is a critical period for body weight change and establishing healthy lifestyle behaviours....

Abadi A, Alyass A, Robiou du Pont S, Bolker B, Singh P, Mohan V, et al.
Am J Hum Genet . 2017 Dec; 101(6):925-938. PMID: 29220676
A growing number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with body mass index (BMI) and obesity, but whether the effects of these obesity-susceptibility loci are uniform across the BMI...

Zhang Y, Alyass A, Vanniyasingam T, Sadeghirad B, Florez I, Pichika S, et al.
J Clin Epidemiol . 2017 Jun; 88:67-80. PMID: 28579378
Objective: To conduct (1) a systematic survey of the reporting quality of simulation studies dealing with how to handle missing participant data (MPD) in randomized control trials and (2) summarize...

Langlois C, Abadi A, Peralta-Romero J, Alyass A, Suarez F, Gomez-Zamudio J, et al.
Sci Rep . 2016 Oct; 6:36202. PMID: 27782183
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in adult European populations. The contribution of these SNPs to FPG in...

Stryjecki C, Peralta-Romero J, Alyass A, Karam-Araujo R, Suarez F, Gomez-Zamudio J, et al.
Sci Rep . 2016 Apr; 6:24472. PMID: 27075119
The Pro12Ala (rs1801282) polymorphism in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ2 (PPAR-γ2) has been convincingly associated with insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) among Europeans, in interaction with a high-fat diet....

Dey A, Alyass A, Muir R, Black S, Swartz R, Murray B, et al.
J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis . 2015 Sep; 24(12):2860-5. PMID: 26411693
Background: Screening for vascular risk factors is commonly assessed through self-report, despite reports of low sensitivity using this approach in healthy populations. The validity of self-reported vascular risk factors in...

Ralhan R, Veyhl J, Chaker S, Assi J, Alyass A, Jeganathan A, et al.
Thyroid . 2015 Jul; 25(11):1224-34. PMID: 26131603
Background: It is of critical clinical importance to select accurately for surgery thyroid nodules at risk for malignancy and avoid surgery on those that are benign. Using alterations in subcellular...
