Genome-wide meta-analysis of macronutrient intake of 91,114 European ancestry participants from the cohorts for heart and aging research in genomic epidemiology consortium.

Jordi Merino, +118 more
- 01 Dec 2019 - 
TL;DR: 12 suggestively significant loci are identified associated with intake of any macronutrient in 91,114 European ancestry participants, corroborating earlier FGF21 and FTO findings and providing new insight into biological functions related to macronsutrient intake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mendelian Randomization Suggests No Causal Association Between C-reactive Protein and Carotid Intima-media Thickness in the Young Finns Study

TL;DR: To the Editor: It is unclear whether C-reactive protein (CRP), a nonspecific marker of acute phase inflammatory response, is causally related to arterial intima-media thickness (IMT), a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD).
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymorphism of the cytokine genes and IgA nephropathy

TL;DR: Carriage of IL1beta2 and IL1RN*2 together with non-carriage of TNF2 is associated with increased susceptibility, but not with a prognosis of IgAN.
Journal ArticleDOI

C-reactive protein genetics is associated with carotid artery compliance in men in The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the presence of high producer CRP genotype is deleterious to carotid elasticity in men, and this work aims to determine if CRP gene polymorphisms or haplotypes are associated with CRP concentration or carOTid artery compliance (CAC), an indicator of subclinical atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of rare and common exome chip variants identifies S1PR4 and other loci influencing blood cell traits

Nathan Pankratz, +83 more

TL;DR: The association of a rare missense variant in S1PR4 supports the role of sphingosine-1-phosphate signaling in leukocyte trafficking and circulating neutrophil counts and loss-of-function experiments for S1pr4 in mouse and s1 Pr4 in zebrafish demonstrated phenotypes consistent with the association observed in humans.
