Journal ArticleDOI
Classical twin studies and beyond.
TL;DR: An overview of the current resources for twin research is provided to obtain insights into the genetic epidemiology of complex traits and diseases, to study the interaction of genotype with sex, age and lifestyle factors, and the causes of co-morbidity between traits and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane Expression of Proteinase 3 Is Genetically Determined
TL;DR: Data indicate that WG patients have a higher percentage of mPR3-expressing neutrophils than healthy controls and patients with other inflammatory diseases, and m PR3 expression is influenced by genetic variance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of Glucose Transporter SGLT1 by Ubiquitin Ligase Nedd4‐2 and Kinases SGK1, SGK3, and PKB
Michael Dieter,Monica Palmada,Jeyaganesh Rajamanickam,Atakan Aydin,Andreas Busjahn,Christoph Boehmer,Friedrich C. Luft,Florian Lang +7 more
TL;DR: Overactivity of SGK1 may lead not only to excessive ENaC activity and hypertension but also to enhanced SGLT1 activity and obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A common polymorphism in KCNH2 (HERG) hastens cardiac repolarization
Connie R. Bezzina,Arie O. Verkerk,Andreas Busjahn,Andreas Jeron,Jeanette Erdmann,Tamara T. Koopmann,Zahurul A. Bhuiyan,Ronald Wilders,Marcel M.A.M. Mannens,Hanno L. Tan,Friedrich C. Luft,Heribert Schunkert,Arthur A.M. Wilde +12 more
TL;DR: Compared to the K897 channel, the T897 channels displayed a shift of -7 mV in voltage dependence of activation and increased rates of current activation and deactivation, which recapitulates the shorter QTc in females homozygous for the 2690C-allele.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The data suggest that the Arg variant of the Arg-->Gly exchange is associated with parental hypertension and higher blood pressure values in this northern European population.
