Article Synopsis
- The study examines genetic regulation of mRNA, proteins, and metabolites in blood samples from over 3,000 people, revealing that many genetic variants influence multiple molecular traits.* -
- It finds that there's a strong genetic connection between gene expression and protein levels (66.6%), and shows broad connections across various tissues, highlighting the shared genetic basis for different traits.* -
- By creating networks of known genetic variants, the research indicates that these variants are more frequently linked to gene expression rather than other molecular traits, helping to clarify the mechanisms behind genetic associations.*
Background: In December 2020, the United Kingdom (UK) reported a SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern (VoC) which is now named B.1.1.

Patients were studied before and 6 months after surgery. Serial measurements of plasma free insulin levels were obtained in duplicates from 0 to 60 min at one-minute intervals.

Methods: Calibrated vertical gastroplasty was performed in 55 obese subjects (BMI 43 +/- 1; age range 20-59 year). There were no post-operative complications.
