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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Geisinger MyCode community health initiative: an electronic health record-linked biobank for precision medicine research.

TL;DR: The MyCode project has created resources that enable a new model for translational research that is faster, more flexible, and more cost-effective than traditional clinical research approaches.

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

Sonia Shah, +201 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report results from a genome-wide association studies (GWAS) meta-analysis of heart failure comprising 47,309 cases and 930,014 controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-Analysis of Genome-Wide Association Studies for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Identifies Four New Disease-Specific Risk Loci

Gregory T. Jones, +123 more
- 20 Jan 2017 - 
TL;DR: The 4 new risk loci for AAA seem to be specific for AAA compared with other cardiovascular diseases and related traits suggesting that traditional cardiovascular risk factor management may only have limited value in preventing the progression of aneurysmal disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association Between Titin Loss-of-Function Variants and Early-Onset Atrial Fibrillation.

TL;DR: In a case-control study, there was a statistically significant association between an LOF variant in the TTN gene and early-onset AF, with the variant present in a small percentage of participants with early-ONSet AF (the case group).
