Defining the role of common variation in the genomic and biological architecture of adult human height

Andrew R. Wood, +444 more
TL;DR: The results indicate a genetic architecture for human height that is characterized by a very large but finite number of causal variants, including mTOR, osteoglycin and binding of hyaluronic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI

GWAS and colocalization analyses implicate carotid intima-media thickness and carotid plaque loci in cardiovascular outcomes

Nora Franceschini, +170 more
TL;DR: The authors identify and prioritize genetic loci for cIMT and plaque by GWAS and colocalization approaches and further demonstrate genetic correlation with CHD and stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction between 5-HT1A and BDNF genotypes increases the risk of treatment-resistant depression.

TL;DR: It is shown that the interaction between 5-HT1A and BDNF polymorphism predicts the risk of treatment-resistant depression and the combination of 5- HT1A GG and BD NF GA + AA genotypes is associated with an increased risk of depression.
Journal Article

Evaluation of plasma cystatin C as a marker for glomerular filtration rate in patients with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Cystatin C measurement is a more sensitive and specific test for GFR in patients with type 2 diabetes than plasma creatinine or its clearance, when GFR is normal or only slightly reduced.
