TL;DR: Common variants in the FER gene and associated molecular pathways are potential novel targets for therapy or prevention and candidates for the development of biomarkers for risk stratification.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In conclusion, there is no conclusive evidence for an involvement of the ghrelin receptor gene in body weight regulation or SNS in the study groups.

TL;DR: Common variants in ABCG8 and ABO are strongly associated with serum phytosterol levels and show concordant and previously unknown associations with CAD.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Although the FST -values are very small, indicating a minor degree of population structure, and are too low to be detectable from methods without using prior information of subpopulation membership, they may be a possible source for confounding due to population stratification.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a K ATP channel gene effect on sleep duration was found to function in Drosophila, from genome-wide association studies to function well in sleep duration.
