A genome-wide association study in Europeans and South Asians identifies five new loci for coronary artery disease

John F. Peden, +110 more
- 01 Apr 2011 - 
TL;DR: Genome-wide association studies have identified 11 common variants convincingly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), a modest number considering the apparent heritability of CAD(8) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies 11 new loci for anthropometric traits and provides insights into genetic architecture

Sonja I. Berndt, +385 more
- 01 May 2013 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide search for loci associated with the upper versus the lower 5th percentiles of body mass index, height and waist-to-hip ratio as well as clinical classes of obesity, including up to 263,407 individuals of European ancestry finds a large overlap in genetic structure and the distribution of variants between traits based on extremes and the general population and little etiological heterogeneity between obesity subgroups.

Fibrinogen beta variants confer protection against coronary artery disease in a Greek case-control study

TL;DR: FGA and FGG SNPs as well as FGA, FGB, FGG and FGA-FGG haplotypes do not seem to be important contributors to CAD occurrence in the authors' sample, and FGB rs1800787 and rs1800789 SNPs seem to confer protection to disease onset lowering the risk by about 50% in homozygotes for the minor alleles.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms in the bone mineral density of Greek postmenopausal women with low calcium intake.

TL;DR: The VDR gene is shown to affect BMD in women with low calcium intake, while its effect is masked in women in the higher calcium intake group, given that it exerts a positive effect on BMD even in the presence of negative genetic predisposition.
