Auto-detected research lines — a seminal paper and the follow-up work building on it. Review and edit before using in a petition. Each Free PDF opens in a new tab — EB-1A organises this into the structure USCIS applies to Criterion 5 of 8 CFR § 204.5(h)(3)(v); EB-1B re-frames it under § 204.5(i)(3) (outstanding researcher); NIW presents it under prong 2 of Matter of Dhanasar.
The researcher advanced obesity biology by leveraging genetic studies of body mass index to yield new insights, as demonstrated in a seminal 2015 paper with over 5,500 citations.
The researcher identified additional genetic susceptibility loci for type 2 diabetes through large-scale meta-analysis and replication, establishing a foundational resource for subsequent independent genetic studies.
The researcher identified 18 new genetic loci associated with body mass index through a large-scale association analysis of nearly 250,000 individuals, significantly expanding the known genetic architecture of obesity.
