Hundreds of variants clustered in genomic loci and biological pathways affect human height

Hana Lango Allen, +344 more
- 14 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that hundreds of genetic variants, in at least 180 loci, influence adult height, a highly heritable and classic polygenic trait, and indicates that GWA studies can identify large numbers of loci that implicate biologically relevant genes and pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lymphocyte apoptosis induced by CD95 (APO-1/Fas) ligand-expressing tumor cells--a mechanism of immune evasion?

TL;DR: The data suggest that tumor cells can evade immune attack by down–regulation of the CD95 receptor and killing of lymphocytes through expression of CD95L, which is an important mediator of T–cell cytotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drug-induced apoptosis in hepatoma cells is mediated by the CD95 (APO-1/Fas) receptor/ligand system and involves activation of wild-type p53.

TL;DR: The data suggest that apoptosis induced by bleomycin is mediated, at least in part, by p53-dependent stimulation of the CD95 receptor/ligand system, the same applies to other anti-cancer drugs such as cisplatin and methotrexate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common genetic variants of the FADS1 FADS2 gene cluster and their reconstructed haplotypes are associated with the fatty acid composition in phospholipids

TL;DR: Carriers of the rare alleles of several SNPs and their respective haplotypes had a lower prevalence of allergic rhinitis and atopic eczema and no association was found for total and specific IgE levels.
