A trans-ancestral meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies reveals loci associated with childhood obesity.

abstract：:TNNI3K expression worsens disease progression in several mouse heart pathology models. TNNI3K expression also reduces the number of diploid cardiomyocytes, which may be detrimental to adult heart regeneration. However, the gene is evolutionarily conserved, suggesting a beneficial function that has remained obscure. He...
