TL;DR: The results demonstrate significant and clinically relevant incremental discriminative/predictive capability of 4 multilocus GRSs for incident CHD among subjects of European ancestry.

TL;DR: Short QT syndrome (QTc ≤ 300 ms) is a novel hereditary channelopathy linked to syncope, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and sudden cardiac death and its epidemiological features remain unsettled.

TL;DR: In this large, multi-ethnic GWAS of asthma, novel associations with potential functional relevance for asthma susceptibility in older adults of diverse racial backgrounds are identified.

TL;DR: The clinical utility of two multi-locus genetic risk scores previously validated in Europeans among persons of African, Latino, Latino and East-Asian ancestry is examined and support the usefulness of incorporating genetic information into risk assessment for primary prevention among minority subjects in the U.S.

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the association between a comprehensive list of drugs known to have potential QT liability and QT prolongation or shortening in the context of an integrated health care delivery system.
