TL;DR: The quality assurance and quality control measures implemented in the HERITAGE Family Study are described, including some examples with real data.

TL;DR: Analysis of data obtained by analyzing previously reported data confirmed that ventral-dorsal gradients in LD and EVD exist in patients with ARDS, and confirmed that no consistent Ventral-Dorsal distribution of increased pulmonary vascular permeability is present.

TL;DR: CMDS provides a fast, powerful and easily implemented tool for the RCNA analysis of large-scale data from cancer genomes and is statistically powerful, computationally efficient and particularly suitable for high-resolution and large-population studies.

TL;DR: The α-adducin gene remained a significant independent predictor of hypertension in a multivariate logistic model even after correcting for other risk factors for hypertension, including gender, age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, urine sodium (Na), and urine potassium (K), and through the use of regression trees, several gene-by-environment interactions were implicated.

TL;DR: A strong impact of local SNPs of the CRP gene on plasma CRP levels is indicated, but there was no direct evidence that these genetically controlled CRP elevations by local CRP SNPs contributed to cardiovascular disease phenotypes.
