Biological, clinical and population relevance of 95 loci for blood lipids

Tanya M. Teslovich, +218 more
- 05 Aug 2010 - 
TL;DR: The results identify several novel loci associated with plasma lipids that are also associated with CAD and provide the foundation to develop a broader biological understanding of lipoprotein metabolism and to identify new therapeutic opportunities for the prevention of CAD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Telomere reduction in human colorectal carcinoma and with ageing

TL;DR: It is shown that in most of the colorectal carcinomas that were analysed, there is a reduction in the length of telomere repeat arrays relative to the normal colonic mucosa from the same patient, and it is proposed that the telomerase2–4 is inactive in somatic tissues, andTelomere length is an indicator of the number of cell divisions that it has taken to form a particular tissue and possibly to generate tumours.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mouse small eye results from mutations in a paired-like homeobox-containing gene.

TL;DR: Analysis of three independent Sey alleles is reported and it is shown that indeed this gene is mutated and that the mutations would predictably interrupt gene function.
Journal ArticleDOI

The candidate Wilms' tumour gene is involved in genitourinary development

TL;DR: In situ messenger RNA hybridization on sections of human embryos and Wilms' tumours suggests that the associated genital abnormalities are pleiotropic effects of mutation in the Wilms’ tumour gene itself, in support of recent genetic analysis11.
