Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale association analysis provides insights into the genetic architecture and pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes

Andrew P. Morris, +232 more
- 01 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: This article conducted a meta-analysis of genetic variants on the Metabochip, including 34,840 cases and 114,981 controls, overwhelmingly of European descent, and identified ten previously unreported T2D susceptibility loci, including two showing sex-differentiated association.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk

Georg Ehret, +391 more
- 06 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: A genetic risk score based on 29 genome-wide significant variants was associated with hypertension, left ventricular wall thickness, stroke and coronary artery disease, but not kidney disease or kidney function, and these findings suggest potential novel therapeutic pathways for cardiovascular disease prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene-wide analysis detects two new susceptibility genes for Alzheimer's disease.

Valentina Escott-Price, +194 more
- 12 Jun 2014 - 
TL;DR: The additional genes identified in this study, have an array of functions previously implicated in Alzheimer's disease, including aspects of energy metabolism, protein degradation and the immune system and add further weight to these pathways as potential therapeutic targets in Alzheimers disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

SNAP: a web-based tool for identification and annotation of proxy SNPs using HapMap

TL;DR: A flexible bioinformatics query tool for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to identify and to annotate nearby SNPs in linkage disequilibrium (proxies) based on HapMap that will facilitate interpretation and comparison of genome-wide association study results and the design of fine-mapping experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study of blood pressure and hypertension

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure and hypertension in the CHARGE Consortium identifies 13 SNPs for SBP, 20 for DBP and 10 for hypertension at P < 4 × 10−7.
