TL;DR: This work has identified a common mutation in MTHFR which alters a highly-conserved amino acid; the substitution occurs at a frequency of approximately 38% of unselected chromosomes and may represent an important genetic risk factor in vascular disease.

TL;DR: 18 new loci associated with body mass index are identified, one of which includes a copy number variant near GPRC5B, and genes in other newly associated loci may provide new insights into human body weight regulation.

M. den Heijer,Ted Koster,Henk J. Blom,Gerard M. J. Bos,Ernest Briët,Pieter H. Reitsma,Jan P. Vandenbroucke,Frits R. Rosendaal +7 more
TL;DR: High plasma homocysteine levels are a risk factor for deep-vein thrombosis in the general population and was stronger among women than among men and increased with age.

TL;DR: It is concluded that heterozygosity for CBS deficiency does not appear to be involved in premature cardiovascular disease, however, a frequent homozygous mutation in the MTHFR gene is associated with a threefold increase in risk for prematurely cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: An HLA-DQA1 allele on chromosome 6p21 is most closely associated with idiopathic membranous nephropathy in persons of white ancestry and may facilitate an autoimmune response against targets such as variants of PLA2R1.
