Probable Exclusion of GLC1A as a Candidate Glaucoma Gene in a Family with Middle-age-onset Primary Open-angle Glaucoma

TL;DR: The most likely interpretation of these observations is that a defect in the GLC1A glaucoma gene is not responsible for adult-onset primary open-angle glAUcoma in family UM:POAG1, which suggests the existence of at least two primaryOpen-angleglaucomA genes, the previously reported G LC1A gene on chromosome 1q and another gene located elsewhere in the genome.

Trans-Ethnic Fine-Mapping of Lipid Loci Identifies Population-Specific Signals and Allelic Heterogeneity That Increases the Trait Variance Explained

TL;DR: Trans-ethnic high-density genotyping and analysis confirm the presence of allelic heterogeneity, allow the identification of population-specific variants, and limit the number of candidate SNPs for functional studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of environmental heterogeneity in meta-analysis of gene-environment interactions with quantitative traits.

TL;DR: This paper proposes to use an adaptively weighted estimator (AWE), between meta‐analysis and meta‐regression, for the interaction parameter, and concludes that without sacrificing much efficiency, the AWE uses only univariate summary statistics from each study, and bypasses issues with sharing individual level data or full covariance matrices across studies.

Genome-wide association study of 1 million people identifies 111 loci for atrial fibrillation

TL;DR: Experiments in rabbits with heart failure and left atrial dilation identified a heterogeneous distributed molecular switch from MYH6 to MYH7 in the left atrium, which resulted in contractile and functional heterogeneity and may predispose to initiation and maintenance of atrial arrhythmia.
