Lu X, Peloso G, Liu D, Wu Y, Zhang H, Zhou W, et al.
Nat Genet . 2017 Oct; 49(12):1722-1730. PMID: 29083407
Most genome-wide association studies have been of European individuals, even though most genetic variation in humans is seen only in non-European samples. To search for novel loci associated with blood...

Spracklen C, Chen P, Kim Y, Wang X, Cai H, Li S, et al.
Hum Mol Genet . 2017 Mar; 26(9):1770-1784. PMID: 28334899
Large-scale meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >175 loci associated with fasting cholesterol levels, including total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglycerides...

Gettler L, Ryan C, Eisenberg D, Rzhetskaya M, Hayes M, Feranil A, et al.
Horm Behav . 2016 Oct; 87:164-175. PMID: 27794482
Partnered fathers often have lower testosterone than single non-parents, which is theorized to relate to elevated testosterone (T) facilitating competitive behaviors and lower T contributing to nurturing. Cultural- and individual-factors...

Gettler L, McDade T, Bragg J, Feranil A, Kuzawa C
Am J Phys Anthropol . 2015 Aug; 158(2):175-184. PMID: 26239159
Objectives: Cross-species comparisons show that high extrinsic mortality favors the evolution of "faster" life histories. There is interest in applying this principle to human life history plasticity, based on the...

Gettler L, McDade T, Feranil A, Agustin S, Kuzawa C
Am J Hum Biol . 2014 Feb; 26(3):376-83. PMID: 24573919
Objectives: We used detailed saliva sampling procedures to test for diurnal changes in men's salivary estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) and assessed whether greater adiposity predicted higher E2 and T....

Willer C, Schmidt E, Sengupta S, Peloso G, Gustafsson S, Kanoni S, et al.
Nat Genet . 2013 Oct; 45(11):1274-1283. PMID: 24097068
Levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides and total cholesterol are heritable, modifiable risk factors for coronary artery disease. To identify new loci and refine known...

Do R, Willer C, Schmidt E, Sengupta S, Gao C, Peloso G, et al.
Nat Genet . 2013 Oct; 45(11):1345-52. PMID: 24097064
Triglycerides are transported in plasma by specific triglyceride-rich lipoproteins; in epidemiological studies, increased triglyceride levels correlate with higher risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, it is unclear whether this...

Wu Y, Marvelle A, Li J, Croteau-Chonka D, Feranil A, Kuzawa C, et al.
J Lipid Res . 2013 Sep; 54(11):3198-205. PMID: 24023260
Blood levels of lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides (TGs) are highly heritable and are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Approximately 100 lipid-associated loci have been identified in populations of...

Gettler L, McDade T, Agustin S, Feranil A, Kuzawa C
Horm Behav . 2013 Sep; 64(5):755-63. PMID: 24018138
Testosterone (T) is thought to help facilitate trade-offs between mating and parenting in humans. Across diverse cultural settings married men and fathers have lower T than other men and couples'...

Wu Y, Waite L, Jackson A, Sheu W, Buyske S, Absher D, et al.
PLoS Genet . 2013 Apr; 9(3):e1003379. PMID: 23555291
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified ~100 loci associated with blood lipid levels, but much of the trait heritability remains unexplained, and at most loci the identities of the trait-influencing...
