Clinical Utility of a Coronary Heart Disease Risk Prediction Gene Score in UK Healthy Middle Aged Men and in the Pakistani Population (vol 10, e0130754, 2015)

TL;DR: The performance of both GSs showed potential clinical utility in European men but much less utility in subjects from Pakistan, suggesting that a different set of risk loci or SNPs may be required for risk prediction in the South Asian population.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Lichfield bone study: the skeletal response to exercise in healthy young men.

TL;DR: It is shown, for the first time, that short-term exercise training in young men is associated not only with a rise in human femoral BMD, but also in femoral bone volume, the latter largely through a periosteal response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Haplotype and genotype effects of the F7 gene on circulating factor VII, coagulation activation markers and incident coronary heart disease in UK men.

TL;DR: The haplotype associated with low FVIIc level, with particularly reduced functional activity, was consistently associated with increased risk for CHD, whereas the haplotypes associated with high F VIIc level was not.

Protein-coding variants implicate novel genes related to lipid homeostasis contributing to body-fat distribution

Anne E. Justice, +287 more
TL;DR: A transancestral exome-wide association study for body-fat distribution identifies protein-coding variants that are significantly associated with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index.
Journal ArticleDOI

Networks in Coronary Heart Disease Genetics As a Step towards Systems Epidemiology

TL;DR: It is proposed that novel, non-linear, and integrative epidemiological approaches are required to combine all available information, in order to truly translate the new advances in medical sciences to gains in preventive measures and patients care.
