Genome-wide association studies identify 137 genetic loci for DNA methylation biomarkers of aging.

Daniel L. McCartney, +133 more
- 29 Jun 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify 137 genome-wide significant loci, of which 113 are novel, from genomewide association study (GWAS) meta-analyses of four epigenetic clocks and epigenetic surrogate markers for granulocyte proportions and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common Genetic Variation Indicates Separate Causes for Periventricular and Deep White Matter Hyperintensities.

Nicola J. Armstrong, +85 more
- 10 Jun 2020 - 
TL;DR: Genetic analyses indicated PVWMH was more associated with ischemic stroke whilst DWMH loci were implicated in vascular, astrocyte, and neuronal function, and these phenotypes are distinct neuroimaging classifications and identifies new candidate genes associated with PVWMh only.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole blood DNA methylation signatures of diet are associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors and all-cause mortality

TL;DR: Habitual diet quality was associated with differential peripheral leukocyte DNA methylation levels of 30 CpGs, most of which were also associated with multiple health outcomes, in European ancestry individuals, demonstrating that integrative genomic analysis of dietary information may reveal molecular targets for disease prevention and treatment.

Genetic determinants of cortical structure (thickness, surface area and volumes) among disease free adults in the CHARGE Consortium

Edith Hofer, +224 more
- 09 Sep 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is found that genetic heterogeneity between cortical measures and brain regions, and 161 genome-wide significant associations pointing to wnt/β-catenin, TGF-β and sonic hedgehog pathways are identified, which are a rich resource for studies of the biological mechanisms behind cortical development and aging.
