A genome-wide metabolic QTL analysis in Europeans implicates two loci shaped by recent positive selection. by George Nicholson, Mattias Rantalainen, Jia V Li, Anthony D Maher, Daniel Malmodin, Kourosh R Ahmadi, Johan H Faber, Amy Barrett, Josine L Min, N William Rayner, Henrik Toft, Maria Krestyaninova, Juris Viksna, Sudeshna Guha Neogi, Marc-Emmanuel Dumas, Ugis Sarkans, MolPAGE Consortium, Peter Donnelly, Thomas Illig, Jerzy Adamski, Karsten Suhre, Maxine Allen, Krina T Zondervan, Tim D Spector, Jeremy K Nicholson, John C Lindon, Dorrit Baunsgaard, Elaine Holmes, Mark I McCarthy, Chris C Holmes

“…Two of the three hit regions lie within haplotype blocks (at 2p13.1 and 10q24.2) that carry the genetic signature of strong, recent, positive selection in European populations. Genes NAT8 and PYROXD2, both with relatively uncharacterized functional roles, are good candidates for mediating the corresponding mQTL associations. …”
