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

Epigenome-wide association study of body mass index, and the adverse outcomes of adiposity

Simone Wahl, +123 more
- 05 Jan 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used epigenome-wide association to show that body mass index (BMI), a key measure of adiposity, is associated with widespread changes in DNA methylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence variants at the TERT-CLPTM1L locus associate with many cancer types.

Thorunn Rafnar, +89 more
- 01 Feb 2009 - 
TL;DR: It is found that rs401681[C] on chromosome 5p15 satisfied the threshold for genome-wide significance and seems to confer protection against cutaneous melanoma, and investigation of the region led to rs2736098[A], which showed stronger association with some cancer types, but neither variant could fully account for the association of the other.
Journal ArticleDOI

XRCC1. XRCC3. XPD gene polymorphisms, smoking and (32)P-DNA adducts in a sample of healthy subjects

TL;DR: All the analysed polymorphisms could result in deficient DNA repair and suggest a need for further investigation into the possible interactions between these polymorphisms, smoking and other risk factors.
