“…The loci are enriched for regulatory features, including DNA methylation and gene expression in relevant tissues, and highlight CHMP4B, PDHB, LRIG1 and other genes linked to adiposity and glucose metabolism. A polygenic risk score based on South Asian-derived summary statistics shows ~4-fold higher risk for T2D between the top and bottom quartile. …”

Putting distance through cleansing : the mediating role of temporal distancing on the embodiment of moral purity by Nurul Mira Fatin Abdulkahar

“…This study is instigated for the purposes of the latter, and aims to investigate the role of subjective distancing as a potential mediator to the embodied link in moral settings. More specifically, it is hypothesized that compared to individuals who do not clean their hands, those who do so after recalling a past immoral act would be more likely to temporally distance their present selves away from their past immoral selves so as to preserve favorable self-view, and hence are more likely to perceive their past moral transgressions as less severe than they would have normally believed. …”
