Meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies identify multiple loci associated with pulmonary function

TL;DR: This meta-analysis included 20,890 participants of European ancestry from four CHARGE Consortium studies: Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities, Cardiovascular Health Study, Framingham Heart Study and Rotterdam Study, and identified eight loci associated with FEV1/FVC and one locus at or near genome-wide significance in theCHARGE Consortium dataset.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association studies identify CHRNA5/3 and HTR4 in the development of airflow obstruction.

Jemma B. Wilk, +86 more
TL;DR: An important role is suggested for the CHRNA5/3 region as a genetic risk factor for airflow obstruction that may be independent of smoking and implicate the HTR4 gene in the etiology of airflow obstruction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide joint meta-analysis of SNP and SNP-by-smoking interaction identifies novel loci for pulmonary function

Dana B. Hancock, +101 more
- 20 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted genome-wide joint meta-analyses (JMA) of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and SNP-by-smoking (ever-smoking or pack-years) associations on spirometic measures of pulmonary function, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)), and its ratio to forced vital capacity(FEV (1)/FVC).
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants in RBFOX3 are associated with sleep latency

Najaf Amin, +78 more
TL;DR: A novel association of variants in RBFOX3 gene is reported, which shows that this gene is significantly involved in the release cycle of neurotransmitters including gamma-aminobutyric acid and various monoamines that are crucial in triggering the onset of sleep.
