Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery and refinement of loci associated with lipid levels

Cristen J. Willer, +319 more
- 06 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is found that loci associated with blood lipid levels are often associated with cardiovascular and metabolic traits, including coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, blood pressure, waist-hip ratio and body mass index.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common variants associated with plasma triglycerides and risk for coronary artery disease

Ron Do, +266 more
- 01 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that triglyceride-rich lipoproteins causally influence risk for CAD, and the strength of a polymorphism's effect on triglyceride levels is correlated with the magnitude of its effect on CAD risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

PhenoScanner: a database of human genotype-phenotype associations.

TL;DR: PhenoScanner is a curated database of publicly available results from large-scale genetic association studies that aims to facilitate ‘phenome scans’, the cross-referencing of genetic variants with many phenotypes, to help aid understanding of disease pathways and biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-6 receptor pathways in coronary heart disease: a collaborative meta-analysis of 82 studies

Nadeem Sarwar, +96 more
TL;DR: In this article, a functional genetic variant known to affect IL6R signalling was studied to assess whether this pathway is causally relevant to coronary heart disease, and Asp358Ala was not associated with lipid concentrations, blood pressure, adiposity, dysglycaemia, or smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity With Mortality

Emanuele Di Angelantonio, +89 more
- 07 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: Because any combination of these conditions was associated with multiplicative mortality risk, life expectancy was substantially lower in people with multimorbidity.
