In a recent study by Zhao et al., rare protein-truncating variants (PTVs) in the BSN and APBA1 genes showed effects on obesity that exceeded those of well-known genes such as MC4R in a UK cohort. In this study, we leveraged the All of Us Research Program, to investigate the association of predicted LoF (pLoF) PTVs in BSN and APBA1 with body mass index (BMI) across a population of diverse ancestry. Our analysis revealed that the impact of pLoF variants in BSN and APBA1 on BMI was notably greater in this cohort, especially among individuals of European ancestry. Additionally, a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) using the extensive phenotypic data available in the All of Us Research Program uncovered novel associations of BSN and APBA1heterozygous pLoF carriers with various phenotypes. Specifically, BSN pLoF variants were associated with pulmonary hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and anticoagulant use, while APBA1 pLoF variants were linked to disorders of the temporomandibular joint. These findings underscore the potential of large-scale biobanks in advancing genetic discovery.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
