Genome-wide association study of PR interval

Arne Pfeufer, +70 more
- 01 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for PR interval from seven population-based European studies in the CHARGE Consortium suggests a role for common variation in ion channel and developmental genes in atrial and atrioventricular conduction as well as in susceptibility to atrial fibrillation.
Journal ArticleDOI

GRR: graphical representation of relationship errors.

TL;DR: A graphical tool for verifying assumed relationships between individuals in genetic studies is described, which can detect many common errors using genotypes from many markers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function

Cristian Pattaro, +735 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular filtration rate suggests that genetic determinants of eGFR are mediated largely through direct effects within the kidney and highlight important cell types and biological pathways.

Rare and low-frequency coding variants alter human adult height

Eirini Marouli, +370 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that sufficiently large sample sizes can uncover rare and low-frequency variants of moderate-to-large effect associated with polygenic human phenotypes, and that these variants implicate relevant genes and pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants influencing circulating lipid levels and risk of coronary artery disease.

Dawn M. Waterworth, +68 more
TL;DR: In addition to those that are largely associated with LDL-C, genetic loci mainly associated with circulating triglycerides and HDL-C are also associated with risk of CAD, and these findings potentially provide new insights into the biological mechanisms underlying lipid metabolism and CAD risk.
