TL;DR: The evidence does not support a causal role for sPLA2-V in CHD and a novel approach for single-nucleotide polymorphism selection for this modified Mendelian randomization analysis showed no association between rs525380 (the lead single-molecule polymorphism for PLA2G5 expression, a surrogate for s PLA2- V levels) and CHD events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early-life inequalities and biological ageing: a multisystem Biological Health Score approach in UnderstandingSociety.
Maryam Karimi,Raphaële Castagné,Cyrille Delpierre,Gaelle Albertus,Eloïse Berger,Paolo Vineis,Meena Kumari,Michelle Kelly-Irving,Marc Chadeau-Hyam +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that social-to-biological processes ultimately leading to health inequalities can already be detected in the 20–40 years old age group and cannot be fully explained by lifestyle and behavioural factors.

TL;DR: This article conducted a two-staged, discovery and replication meta genome-wide association study (GWAS) of circulating serum IL-6 levels comprising up to 67,428 individuals of European ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social differences in insulin-like growth factor-1: findings from a British birth cohort.
TL;DR: IGF-1 secretion isassociated with social position such that low social position is associated with lower levels of IGF-1, and this biomarker may play a role in the development of social differences in morbidities associated with aging, such as theDevelopment of disability.
