TL;DR: It is of great importance that guidelines and recommendations are presented in formats that are easily interpreted, and their implementation programmes must also be well conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Birthweight, body-mass index in middle age, and incident coronary heart disease
TL;DR: There is an important interaction between birthweight and BMI such that the increased risk of coronary heart disease associated with low birthweight is restricted to people who have high BMI in adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The value of sex-specific GWAS to unravel the sexually dimorphic genetic underpinning of complex traits is demonstrated, with no evidence for genetic effects with opposite directions in men versus women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations of circulating C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 with cancer risk: findings from two prospective cohorts and a meta-analysis.

TL;DR: The findings suggest an etiological role for CRP and IL-6 in some cancers, and further large prospective and genetic studies would help to better understand this role.
Journal ArticleDOI
The methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) A66G polymorphism is a novel genetic determinant of plasma homocysteine concentrations
Derval J. Gaughan,Leo A. J. Kluijtmans,Sandrine Barbaux,Dorothy McMaster,Ian S. Young,John Yarnell,Alun Evans,Alexander S. Whitehead +7 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first evidence that the MTRR A66G polymorphism significantly influences the circulating tHcy concentration, and estimates that 66AA homozygotes have, on average, an approximately 4% increase in cardiovascular disease risk compared to 66GG homozygote.
