Inactivating mutations in NPC1L1 and protection from coronary heart disease

Nathan O. Stitziel, +76 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the exons of the Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) protein were sequenced in 7364 patients with coronary heart disease and in 14,728 controls without such disease who were of European, African or South Asian ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coding Variation in ANGPTL4, LPL, and SVEP1 and the Risk of Coronary Disease

Nathan O. Stitziel, +128 more
TL;DR: It was found that carriers of loss-of-function mutations in ANGPTL4 had triglyceride levels that were lower than those among noncarriers; these mutations were also associated with protection from coronary artery disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale genomic analyses link reproductive aging to hypothalamic signaling, breast cancer susceptibility and BRCA1-mediated DNA repair

Felix R. Day, +241 more
- 01 Nov 2015 - 
TL;DR: A dual strategy to identify common and low-frequency protein-coding variation associated with age at natural menopause and enrichment of signals in or near genes involved in delayed puberty are reported, highlighting the first molecular links between the onset and end of reproductive lifespan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systematic Evaluation of Pleiotropy Identifies 6 Further Loci Associated With Coronary Artery Disease

Tom R. Webb, +138 more
TL;DR: Several CAD loci show substantial pleiotropy, which may help us understand the mechanisms by which these loci affect CAD risk, and identify 6 new loci associated with CAD at genome-wide significance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide meta-analysis uncovers novel loci influencing circulating leptin levels

Tuomas O. Kilpeläinen, +227 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of circulating leptin levels from 32,161 individuals and identified five loci robustly associated with leptin levels in/near LEP, SLC32A1, GCKR, CCNL1 and FTO.
