The impact of low-frequency and rare variants on lipid levels.

Ida Surakka, +98 more
- 01 Jun 2015 - 
TL;DR: Using a genome-wide screen of 9.6 million genetic variants achieved through 1000 Genomes Project imputation in 62,166 samples, association to lipid traits in 93 loci is identified, including 79 previously identified loci with new lead SNPs and 10 new loci, including 15 locu with a low-frequency lead SNP and 10 loco with a missense lead SNP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term and recent trends in hypertension awareness, treatment, and control in 12 high-income countries: an analysis of 123 nationally representative surveys

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared hypertension awareness, treatment, and control, and how they have changed over time, in 12 high-income countries: Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Spain, the UK, and the USA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide physical activity interactions in adiposity. A meta-analysis of 200,452 adults

Mariaelisa Graff, +349 more
- 27 Apr 2017 - 
TL;DR: In additional genome-wide meta-analyses adjusting for PA and interaction with PA, 11 novel adiposity loci are identified, suggesting that accounting for PA or other environmental factors that contribute to variation in adiposity may facilitate gene discovery.

The genetics of blood pressure regulation and its target organs from association studies in 342,415 individuals

Georg Ehret, +312 more
TL;DR: The 66-SNP blood pressure risk score was significantly associated with target organ damage in multiple tissues but with minor effects in the kidney, expanding current knowledge of blood pressure–related pathways and highlighting tissues beyond the classical renal system in blood pressure regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis identifies multiple loci associated with kidney function–related traits in east Asian populations

Yukinori Okada, +414 more
- 01 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for kidney function–related traits, including 71,149 east Asian individuals from 18 studies in 11 population-, hospital- or family-based cohorts, conducted as part of the Asian Genetic Epidemiology Network (AGEN), identified 17 loci newly associated with kidney function-related traits.
