Single-trait and multi-trait genome-wide association analyses identify novel loci for blood pressure in African-ancestry populations

Jingjing Liang, +81 more
- 12 May 2017 - 
TL;DR: This study provides new evidence for genes related to hypertension susceptibility, and the need to study African-ancestry populations in order to identify biologic factors contributing to hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trans-ethnic kidney function association study reveals putative causal genes and effects on kidney-specific disease aetiologies

Andrew P. Morris, +79 more
TL;DR: Trans-ethnic genome-wide meta-analyses for eGFR in 312,468 individuals are performed and novel loci and downstream putative causal genes are identified, offering insight into clinical outcomes and routes to CKD treatment development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association among total serum isomers of perfluorinated chemicals, glucose homeostasis, lipid profiles, serum protein and metabolic syndrome in adults: NHANES, 2013–2014☆

TL;DR: S serum isomers of PFOA and PFOS were associated with glucose homeostasis, serum protein as well as lipid profiles; they were also indicators of MS, which may suggest that there is a distinct difference in the toxicokinetics of the isomers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tnni3k Modifies Disease Progression in Murine Models of Cardiomyopathy

TL;DR: Tnni3k (cardiac Troponin I-interacting kinase) is reported as the gene underlying Hrtfm2, which plays a critical role in the modulation of different forms of heart disease and this protein may provide a novel target for therapeutic intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trans-ethnic Fine Mapping Highlights Kidney-Function Genes Linked to Salt Sensitivity.

TL;DR: The utility of trans-ethnic fine mapping through integration of GWASs involving diverse populations with genomic annotation from relevant tissues to define molecular mechanisms by which association signals exert their effect is demonstrated and salt sensitivity might be an important marker for biological processes that affect kidney function and CKD in humans is suggested.
