TL;DR: The genetic architecture underlying genome-wide association study (GWAS) data for rheumatoid arthritis is modeled and a new method using polygenic risk-score analyses to infer the total liability-scale variance explained by associated GWAS SNPs is developed.

TL;DR: It is likely that longer telomeres increase risk for several cancers but reduce risk for some non-neoplastic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, as well as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are strongly associated with telomere length in the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antigen receptor-induced activation and cytoskeletal rearrangement are impaired in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein-deficient lymphocytes.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided of roles for WASp in driving lymphocyte development, as well as in the translation of antigen receptor stimulation to proliferative or apoptotic responses, cytokine production, and cytoskeletal rearrangement and suggests that the immune deficit conferred by WASp deficiency reflects the disruption of a broad range of cellular behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of viscosupplementation with hylan G-F 20 (Synvisc®) in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee: a Canadian multicenter trial comparing hylan G-F 20 alone, hylan G-F 20 with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and NSAIDs alone
Mark E. Adams,Martin H. Atkinson,André Lussier,Jan I. Schulz,Katherine A. Siminovitch,John Wade,Michel Zummer +6 more
TL;DR: A statistical test for the equivalence, the q-statistic, demonstrated that viscosupplementation with hylan G-F 20 was at least as good or better than continuous NSAID therapy for all outcome measurements except activity restriction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Roles of the SHP-1 tyrosine phosphatase in the negative regulation of cell signalling.
TL;DR: The cumulative data generated from studies of this PTP have elucidated not only the functional relevance of SHP-1, but also a number of novel paradigms as to the molecular mechanisms whereby signalling cascades are regulated so as to either augment or abrogate specific cell behaviours.
