2013 AHA/ACC/TOS Guideline for the Management of Overweight and Obesity in Adults

TL;DR: This data indicates that overweight and obesity in adults over the age of 40 is more likely to be a risk factor for adverse events than the other factors, including smoking, diet, and physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative trait loci on chromosomes 3 and 17 influence phenotypes of the metabolic syndrome

TL;DR: Pedigree-based analysis using a variance components linkage model demonstrated a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 3 (3q27) strongly linked to six traits representing these fundamental phenotypes, and candidate genes likely to influence two biologic precursor pathways of the metabolic syndrome are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of expression QTLs using large-scale transcriptional profiling in human lymphocytes.

TL;DR: To highlight the usefulness of this much-enlarged map of cis-regulated transcripts for the discovery of genes that influence complex traits in humans, as an example, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration is selected as a phenotype of clinical importance and the cis- regulated vanin 1 (VNN1) gene is identified as harboring sequence variants that influence high- density lipop protein cholesterol concentrations.
