Genetic Predisposition to Coronary Artery Disease in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Natalie R. van Zuydam, +72 more
TL;DR: None of the previously characterized CAD loci was found to have specific effects on CAD in T2D individuals, and a genome-wide interaction analysis found no new variants for CAD that could be considered T1D specific.

Method to determine single nucleotide polymorphisms and mutations in nucleic acid sequence

TL;DR: In this paper, a genotyping method and a prepared oligomicroarray as device is provided to determine single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and mutations are provided, using two specific APEX-2 primers per each SNP or mutations to be determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

ANGPTL7, a therapeutic target for increased intraocular pressure and glaucoma

Kavita Praveen, +157 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors identify and functional characterization of rare coding variants (including loss-of-function variants) in ANGPTL7 associated with reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma protection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence data and association statistics from 12,940 type 2 diabetes cases and controls (vol 4, 170179, 2017)

Jason Flannick, +300 more
TL;DR: This corrects the article DOI: 10.1038/sdata.2017.179 to S Data 2017, which indicates that S Data was first published in 2017, not S Data 2016, which was originally published in 2016.
Journal ArticleDOI

Manhattan Harvester and Cropper: a system for GWAS peak detection.

TL;DR: Manhattan Harvester, a tool designed for “peak extraction” from GWAS summary files and computation of parameters characterizing various aspects of individual peaks, and Cropper, a graphical interface for inspecting, cropping and subsetting Manhattan Plot regions, are developed.
