Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in ITGB3 has sex-specific associations with plasma lipoprotein(a) and whole blood serotonin levels in a population-based sample.
TL;DR: Variation in ITGB3 in addition to Leu33Pro could contribute to susceptibility to CVD and serotonin in a sex-specific manner, and the results suggest that variation in IT GB3 and its relationship to intermediate phenotypes associated with CVD in the same population is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex Differences in the Genetic Basis of Morning Serum Cortisol Levels: Genome-Wide Screen Identifies Two Novel Loci Specific to Women
Lianne M. Kurina,Lauren A. Weiss,Steven W. Graves,Rodney Parry,Gordon H. Williams,Mark Abney,Carole Ober +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the genetic determinants of morning serum cortisol levels may be different for men and women and that loci on 11p and 14q influence morning cortisol levels in women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrin β3 genotype influences asthma and allergy phenotypes in the first 6 years of life
Emma E. Thompson,Lin Pan,Irina Ostrovnaya,Lauren A. Weiss,James E. Gern,Robert F. Lemanske,Dan L. Nicolae,Carole Ober +7 more
TL;DR: The study revealed significant associations between SNPs in ITGB3 and asthma, wheezing, and IgE levels, suggesting an early role for this gene in the development of asthma and allergy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human iPS Cell-Derived Neurons Uncover the Impact of Increased Ras Signaling in Costello Syndrome.
Gemma E. Rooney,Alice F. Goodwin,Philippe Depeille,Amnon Sharir,Claude M. Schofield,Erika Yeh,Jeroen P. Roose,Ophir D. Klein,Katherine A. Rauen,Lauren A. Weiss,Erik M. Ullian +10 more
TL;DR: This study is the first to reveal human neuronal pathogenesis resulting from abnormal Ras signaling and provides insights into how these phenotypic abnormalities likely contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymorphisms of the Scavenger Receptor Class B Member 1 Are Associated with Insulin Resistance with Evidence of Gene by Sex Interaction
Jeanette J. McCarthy,Aleefia Somji,Lauren A. Weiss,Brian M. Steffy,Raquel Vega,Elizabeth Barrett-Connor,Gregory A. Talavera,Richard Glynne +7 more
TL;DR: The data support an association between SCARB1 variants and insulin resistance, especially in women, with evidence of significant gene by sex interaction, and warrant further investigation in additional populations and prompt exploration of a role for SR-BI in the development of insulin resistance.
