Journal ArticleDOI
Novel genetic loci identified for the pathophysiology of childhood obesity in the Hispanic population.
Anthony G. Comuzzie,Shelley A. Cole,Sandra Laston,V. Saroja Voruganti,Karin Haack,Richard A. Gibbs,Nancy F. Butte +6 more
TL;DR: Unprecedented phenotyping and high-density SNP genotyping enabled localization of novel genetic loci associated with the pathophysiology of childhood obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why treatment centres failed to prevent cholera deaths among Rwandan refugees in Goma, Zaire
A. K. Siddique,Akram K,Khalequ Zaman,Sandra Laston,A. Salam,R.N. Majumdar,M. S. Islam,N. Fronczak +7 more
TL;DR: In one of the temporary treatment centres with the worst case-fatality record, it was shown that improvement of these factors could increase the odds of survival of cholera patients even in a disaster setting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic determinants of lipid traits in diverse populations from the population architecture using genomics and epidemiology (PAGE) study.
Logan Dumitrescu,Cara L. Carty,Kira C. Taylor,Fredrick R. Schumacher,Lucia A. Hindorff,José Luis Ambite,Garnet L. Anderson,Lyle G. Best,Kristin Brown-Gentry,Petra Bůžková,Chris S. Carlson,Barbara Cochran,Shelley A. Cole,Richard B. Devereux,Dave Duggan,Charles B. Eaton,Myriam Fornage,Nora Franceschini,Jeff Haessler,Barbara V. Howard,Karen C. Johnson,Sandra Laston,Laurence N.

Haiman,Loic Le Marchand,Steven Buyske,Charles Kooperberg,Kari E. North,Dana C. Crawford +35 more
TL;DR: For the associations that did not generalize, differences in effect sizes, allele frequencies, and linkage disequilibrium offer clues to the next generation of association studies for these traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary Intakes Vary with Age among Eskimo Adults of Northwest Alaska in the GOCADAN Study, 2000–2003
Elizabeth D. Nobmann,Rafael Ponce,Claudia Mattil,Richard B. Devereux,Bennett Dyke,Sven O. E. Ebbesson,Sandra Laston,Jean W. MacCluer,David C. Robbins,Terry Romenesko,Giacomo Ruotolo,Charlotte R. Wenger,Barbara V. Howard +12 more
TL;DR: Variations in intake by age may portend changing eating patterns that will influence CVD as participants age, and continued consumption of traditional foods is recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid consumption and metabolic syndrome components: the GOCADAN study.
Sven O. E. Ebbesson,M. Elizabeth Tejero,Elizabeth D. Nobmann,Juan Carlos López-Alvarenga,Lars O.E. Ebbesson,Terri Romenesko,Elizabeth A. Carter,Helaine E. Resnick,Richard B. Devereux,Jean W. MacCluer,Bennett Dyke,Sandra Laston,Charlotte R. Wenger,Richard R. Fabsitz,Anthony G. Comuzzie,Barbara V. Howard +15 more
TL;DR: Assessment of the association between intake of specific FAs and components of the metabolic syndrome (MS) in adult Eskimos finds that long-chain omega-3 FAs from marine sources may improve certain MS components, and thus may reduce risk for cardiovascular disease.
