Journal ArticleDOI

Atlas of the clinical genetics of human dilated cardiomyopathy

TL;DR: This is to the authors' knowledge, the first study that comprehensively investigated the genetics of DCM in a large-scale cohort and across a broad gene panel of the known DCM genes and underline the high analytical quality and feasibility of Next-Generation Sequencing in clinical genetic diagnostics.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide association study identifies 6p21 as novel risk locus for dilated cardiomyopathy

TL;DR: The present study reveals a novel genetic susceptibility locus that clearly underlines the role of genetically driven, inflammatory processes in the pathogenesis of idiopathic DCM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene Polymorphism but not Catalytic Activity of Angiotensin I–Converting Enzyme Is Associated With Coronary Artery Disease and Myocardial Infarction in Low-Risk Patients

TL;DR: In the total population and in all CAD and MI groups, a strong association was observed between the gene polymorphism and ACE activities; DD genotypes had approximately twofold higher ACE activities than II genotypes; an association of the DD genotype with CAD was found.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new metabolomic signature in type-2 diabetes mellitus and its pathophysiology.

TL;DR: A metabolic signature including glyoxylate was associated with type-2 diabetes mellitus, independent of the fasting status and of occurrence of another major disease.
