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

Large-scale association analysis identifies new risk loci for coronary artery disease

Panos Deloukas, +204 more
- 01 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: An association analysis in CAD cases and controls identifies 15 loci reaching genome-wide significance, taking the number of susceptibility loci for CAD to 46, and a further 104 independent variants strongly associated with CAD at a 5% false discovery rate (FDR).
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide trans-ancestry meta-analysis provides insight into the genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes susceptibility.

Anubha Mahajan, +395 more
- 01 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors aggregated published meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), including 26,488 cases and 83,964 controls of European, east Asian, south Asian and Mexican and Mexican American ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies eight new loci for type 2 diabetes in east Asians

Yoon Shin Cho, +72 more
- 01 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: The combined analysis identified eight new T2D loci reaching genome-wide significance, which mapped in or near GLIS3, PEPD, FITM2-R3HDML-HNF4A, KCNK16, MAEA, GCC1-PAX4, PSMD6 and ZFAND3, which may regulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion in the pancreas.
