Identification of seven novel loci associated with amino acid levels using single variant and gene-based tests in 8,545 Finnish men

In this paper, researchers investigate the contribution of genetic variation to amino acid levels by performing single variant and gene-based tests of association between nine serum amino acids and 16.6 million genotyped and imputed variants in 8,545 non-diabetic Finnish men from the METabolic Syndrome In Men (METSIM) study.
