Genetic mechanisms of critical illness in Covid-19.

Erola Pairo-Castineira, +1449 more
- 04 Mar 2021 - 
TL;DR: The GenOMICC (Genetics Of Mortality In Critical Care) genome-wide association study in 2244 critically ill Covid-19 patients from 208 UK intensive care units is reported, finding evidence in support of a causal link from low expression of IFNAR2, and high expression of TYK2, to life-threatening disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel Loci for Adiponectin Levels and Their Influence on Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Traits: A Multi-Ethnic Meta-Analysis of 45,891 Individuals

Zari Dastani, +618 more
- 29 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in 39,883 individuals of European ancestry to identify genes associated with metabolic disease identifies novel genetic determinants of adiponectin levels, which, taken together, influence risk of T2D and markers of insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Is Associated with a Variant in Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 1

Morris J. Bown, +507 more
TL;DR: This study has identified a biologically plausible genetic variant associated specifically with AAA, and it is suggested that this variant has a possible functional role in LRP1 expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole-genome sequencing reveals host factors underlying critical COVID-19

TL;DR: The GenOMICC (Genetics of Mortality in Critical Care) study enables the comparison of genomes from individuals who are critically ill with those of population controls to find underlying disease mechanisms as mentioned in this paper .
