Plasma HDL cholesterol and risk of myocardial infarction: A mendelian randomisation study

Benjamin F. Voight, +140 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a Mendelian randomisation analysis was performed to compare the effect of HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and genetic score on risk of myocardial infarction.

Plasma HDL cholesterol and risk of myocardial infarction: a mendelian randomisation study

Benjamin F. Voight, +125 more
TL;DR: Mendelian randomisation analyses challenge the concept that raising of plasma HDL cholesterol will uniformly translate into reductions in risk of myocardial infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI

The interleukin-6 receptor as a target for prevention of coronary heart disease: a mendelian randomisation analysis.

Daniel I. Swerdlow, +115 more
- 31 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: IL6R blockade could provide a novel therapeutic approach to prevention of coronary heart disease that warrants testing in suitably powered randomised trials and could help to validate and prioritise novel drug targets or to repurpose existing agents and targets for new therapeutic uses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between C reactive protein and coronary heart disease: mendelian randomisation analysis based on individual participant data

G. Eiriksdottir, +137 more
TL;DR: Human genetic data indicate that C reactive protein concentration itself is unlikely to be even a modest causal factor in coronary heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between alcohol and cardiovascular disease:Mendelian randomisation analysis based on individual participant data

Michael V. Holmes, +170 more
- 10 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the causal role of alcohol consumption in cardiovascular disease was investigated using a Mendelian randomisation meta-analysis of 56 epidemiological studies, including 20 259 coronary heart disease cases and 10 164 stroke events.
