Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids

Tanya M. Teslovich, +218 more
- 05 Aug 2010 - 
TL;DR: The results identify several novel loci associated with plasma lipids that are also associated with CAD and provide the foundation to develop a broader biological understanding of lipoprotein metabolism and to identify new therapeutic opportunities for the prevention of CAD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk

Georg Ehret, +391 more
- 06 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: A genetic risk score based on 29 genome-wide significant variants was associated with hypertension, left ventricular wall thickness, stroke and coronary artery disease, but not kidney disease or kidney function, and these findings suggest potential novel therapeutic pathways for cardiovascular disease prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies eight loci associated with blood pressure

Christopher Newton-Cheh, +362 more
- 01 Jun 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the association between systolic or diastolic blood pressure and common variants in eight regions near the CYP17A1 (P = 7 × 10(-24)), CYP1A2(P = 1 × 10-23), FGF5 (P=1 × 10 -21), SH2B3(P= 3 × 10−18), MTHFR(MTHFR), c10orf107(P), ZNF652(ZNF652), PLCD3 (P,P = 5 × 10 −9),
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide meta-analyses identify multiple loci associated with smoking behavior

Helena Furberg, +123 more
- 01 May 2010 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analyses of several smoking phenotypes within cohorts of the Tobacco and Genetics Consortium found the strongest association was a synonymous 15q25 SNP in the nicotinic receptor gene CHRNA3, and three loci associated with number of cigarettes smoked per day were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association of early-onset myocardial infarction with single nucleotide polymorphisms and copy number variants.

Sekar Kathiresan, +118 more
- 08 Feb 2009 - 
TL;DR: SNPs at nine loci were reproducibly associated with myocardial infarction, but tests of common and rare CNVs failed to identify additional associations with my Cardiovascular Infarction risk.
