Novel genetic associations for blood pressure identified via gene-alcohol interaction in up to 570K individuals across multiple ancestries

Mary F. Feitosa, +299 more
- 18 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: In insights into the role of alcohol consumption in the genetic architecture of hypertension, a large two-stage investigation incorporating joint testing of main genetic effects and single nucleotide variant (SNV)-alcohol consumption interactions is conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenetic Signatures of Cigarette Smoking

Roby Joehanes, +86 more
TL;DR: Cigarette smoking has a broad impact on genome-wide methylation that, at many loci, persists many years aftersmoking cessation, indicating a pattern of persistent altered methylation, with attenuation, after smoking cessation.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endogenous postmenopausal hormones and carotid atherosclerosis: a case-control study of the atherosclerosis risk in communities cohort.

TL;DR: Higher total testosterone and SHBG are found to be inversely related to carotid atherosclerosis, suggesting their potential importance in reducing atherosclerotic risk in postmenopausal women not using HRT.
