Popis: | Background Clinical and epidemiological findings point to an association between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and low birth weight (BW). However, the nature underlying their relationship is largely unknown. Here, we aim to identify novel single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in T2D, BW and their pleiotropic loci. Methods We applied a pleiotropy-informed conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) method to two independent GWAS summary statistics of T2D (n = 149,821) and BW (n = 26,836). Results Conditional Q-Q plot shows a strong enrichment of genetic variants in T2D conditioned on different levels of association with BW. We identified 133 SNPs with a significance threshold of cFDR |
