Genome-wide association analyses identify 44 risk variants and refine the genetic architecture of major depression

Naomi R. Wray, +262 more
- 26 Apr 2018 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association meta-analysis of individuals with clinically assessed or self-reported depression identifies 44 independent and significant loci and finds important relationships of genetic risk for major depression with educational attainment, body mass, and schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

The same sequence variant on 9p21 associates with myocardial infarction, abdominal aortic aneurysm and intracranial aneurysm

Anna Helgadottir, +69 more
- 01 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is reported that rs10757278-G is associated with, in addition to CAD, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and intracranial aneurYSm, but not with T2D, and the role of this sequence variant is not confined to atherosclerotic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

An epigenetic clock for gestational age at birth based on blood methylation data.

TL;DR: DNA methylation can be used to accurately estimate gestational age at or near birth and may provide additional information relevant to developmental stage and may increase accuracy in the testing of hypotheses related to developmental age and other early life circumstances.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole genome expression profiling reveals a significant role for immune function in human abdominal aortic aneurysms

TL;DR: A large number of genes involved in immune function were differentially expressed in AAA, and the pathway analysis gave these results a biological context, providing valuable insight for future studies to dissect the pathogenesis of human AAA.
Book ChapterDOI

Brain Arteriovenous Malformation Pathogenesis: A Response-to-Injury Paradigm

TL;DR: A "response-to-injury" model of brain AVM pathogenesis is proposed, targeting various mechanisms that must act in concert to regulate normal angiogenic response to injury.
