Trans-ethnic association study of blood pressure determinants in over 750,000 individuals.

Ayush Giri, +117 more
- 01 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of blood pressure data from the Million Veteran Program trans-ethnic cohort identifies common and rare variants, and genetically predicted gene expression across multiple tissues associated with systolic, diastolic and pulse pressure in over 775,000 individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extending thrombolysis to 4·5–9 h and wake-up stroke using perfusion imaging: a systematic review and meta-analysis of individual patient data

Bruce C.V. Campbell, +267 more
- 13 Jul 2019 - 
TL;DR: Patients with ischaemic stroke 4·5-9 h from stroke onset or wake-up stroke with salvageable brain tissue who were treated with alteplase achieved better functional outcomes than did patients given placebo, and this increase in the rate of symptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage did not negate the overall net benefit of thrombolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

PCSK9 genetic variants and risk of type 2 diabetes: a mendelian randomisation study

Amand F. Schmidt, +147 more
TL;DR: PCSK9 variants associated with lower LDL cholesterol were also associated with circulating higher fasting glucose concentration, bodyweight, and waist-to-hip ratio, and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies FCGR2A as a susceptibility locus for Kawasaki disease.

Chiea Chuen Khor, +117 more
- 01 Dec 2011 - 
TL;DR: The involvement of the FCGR2A locus may have implications for understanding immune activation in Kawasaki disease pathogenesis and the mechanism of response to intravenous immunoglobulin, the only proven therapy for this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis identifies multiple loci associated with kidney function–related traits in east Asian populations

Yukinori Okada, +414 more
- 01 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for kidney function–related traits, including 71,149 east Asian individuals from 18 studies in 11 population-, hospital- or family-based cohorts, conducted as part of the Asian Genetic Epidemiology Network (AGEN), identified 17 loci newly associated with kidney function-related traits.
