A genome-wide association study of metabolic traits in human urine

Karsten Suhre and colleagues report a genome-wide association study of metabolic traits in human urine, using NMR spectrometry to measure 59 metabolites in urine from participants. They identify five loci influencing urine metabolite levels and point to a missense variant in AGXT2 as the likely caus...
