Low-grade albuminuria and the incidence of heart failure in a community-based cohort of elderly men

TL;DR: Observations support the notion that low-grade albuminuria is a marker for subclinical cardiovascular damage that predisposes to future HF in the community.

Large meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies five loci for lean body mass

M. Carola Zillikens, +192 more
TL;DR: Kiel et al. as discussed by the authors performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for whole body lean body mass and found five novel genetic loci to be significantly associated with lean body weight.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory markers in relation to insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome

TL;DR: This work has shown that inflammation is a major factor in the development of the metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance and the importance of different aspects of the inflammatory process is largely unexplored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum cystatin C and the risk of Alzheimer disease in elderly men

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that increased cystatin C activity in the brain protects against the development of Alzheimer disease (AD) and showed that increased CYSTatin C levels were associated with increased risk of developing Alzheimer disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery and Fine-Mapping of Glycaemic and Obesity-Related Trait Loci Using High-Density Imputation.

Momoko Horikoshi, +104 more
- 01 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that 1000G imputation and genetic fine-mapping of common and low-frequency variant association signals at GWAS loci, integrated with genomic annotation in relevant tissues, can provide insight into the functional and regulatory mechanisms through which their effects on glycaemic and obesity-related traits are mediated.
