Genetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk

Georg Ehret, +391 more
- 06 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: A genetic risk score based on 29 genome-wide significant variants was associated with hypertension, left ventricular wall thickness, stroke and coronary artery disease, but not kidney disease or kidney function, and these findings suggest potential novel therapeutic pathways for cardiovascular disease prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function

Cristian Pattaro, +735 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular filtration rate suggests that genetic determinants of eGFR are mediated largely through direct effects within the kidney and highlight important cell types and biological pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-Wide Association Study of Blood Pressure Extremes Identifies Variant near UMOD Associated with Hypertension

Sandosh Padmanabhan, +82 more
- 28 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: The newly discovered UMOD locus for hypertension has the potential to give new insights into the role of uromodulin in BP regulation and to identify novel drugable targets for reducing cardiovascular risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study identifies six new loci influencing pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure

Louise V. Wain, +229 more
- 01 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: Findings suggest new genetic pathways underlying blood pressure variation, some of which may differentially influence SBP and DBP, as well as two new MAP loci associated with both of these traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipase catalysis in organic solvents: advantages and applications

TL;DR: The present review describes the advantages of lipase-catalyzed reactions in organic Solvents and various effects of organic solvents on their activity.
