Journal ArticleDOI

The interleukin-6 receptor as a target for prevention of coronary heart disease: a mendelian randomisation analysis.

Daniel I. Swerdlow, +115 more
- 31 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: IL6R blockade could provide a novel therapeutic approach to prevention of coronary heart disease that warrants testing in suitably powered randomised trials and could help to validate and prioritise novel drug targets or to repurpose existing agents and targets for new therapeutic uses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mendelian randomization of blood lipids for coronary heart disease

Michael V. Holmes, +67 more
TL;DR: The genetic findings support a causal effect of triglycerides on CHD risk, but a causal role for HDL-C, though possible, remains less certain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between alcohol and cardiovascular disease:Mendelian randomisation analysis based on individual participant data

Michael V. Holmes, +170 more
- 10 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the causal role of alcohol consumption in cardiovascular disease was investigated using a Mendelian randomisation meta-analysis of 56 epidemiological studies, including 20 259 coronary heart disease cases and 10 164 stroke events.
Journal ArticleDOI

HMG-coenzyme A reductase inhibition, type 2 diabetes, and bodyweight: evidence from genetic analysis and randomised trials.

Daniel I. Swerdlow, +132 more
- 24 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: The increased risk of type 2 diabetes noted with statins is at least partially explained by HMGCR inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association and Mendelian randomisation analysis provide insights into the pathogenesis of heart failure.

Sonia Shah, +167 more
TL;DR: Mendelian randomisation analysis supports causal roles for several HF risk factors, and demonstrates CAD-independent effects for atrial fibrillation, body mass index, and hypertension.
