Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-6 receptor pathways in coronary heart disease: a collaborative meta-analysis of 82 studies

Nadeem Sarwar, +96 more
TL;DR: In this article, a functional genetic variant known to affect IL6R signalling was studied to assess whether this pathway is causally relevant to coronary heart disease, and Asp358Ala was not associated with lipid concentrations, blood pressure, adiposity, dysglycaemia, or smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Influence of Age and Sex on Genetic Associations with Adult Body Size and Shape: A Large-Scale Genome-Wide Interaction Study

Thomas W. Winkler, +438 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed meta-analyses of 114 studies with genome-wide chip and/or Metabochip data by the Genetic Investigation of Anthropometric Traits (GIANT) Consortium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between C reactive protein and coronary heart disease: mendelian randomisation analysis based on individual participant data

G. Eiriksdottir, +137 more
TL;DR: Human genetic data indicate that C reactive protein concentration itself is unlikely to be even a modest causal factor in coronary heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis and imputation refines the association of 15q25 with smoking quantity

Jason Z. Liu, +107 more
- 01 May 2010 - 
TL;DR: The Oxford-GlaxoSmithKline study (Ox-GSK) as discussed by the authors performed a genome-wide meta-analysis of SNP association with smoking-related behavioral traits and found an effect on smoking quantity at a locus on 15q25 (P = 9.45 x 10(-19) that includes CHRNA5, CHRNA3 and CHRNB4.
