Genetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk

Georg Ehret, +391 more
- 06 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: A genetic risk score based on 29 genome-wide significant variants was associated with hypertension, left ventricular wall thickness, stroke and coronary artery disease, but not kidney disease or kidney function, and these findings suggest potential novel therapeutic pathways for cardiovascular disease prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies common variants associated with blood pressure variation in east Asians

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure in 19,608 subjects of east Asian ancestry followed up with de novo genotyping and further replication in east Asian samples provides new insights into blood pressure regulation and potential targets for intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function

Cristian Pattaro, +735 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular filtration rate suggests that genetic determinants of eGFR are mediated largely through direct effects within the kidney and highlight important cell types and biological pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis identifies common variants associated with body mass index in east Asians

Wanqing Wen, +71 more
- 01 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of associations between BMI and approximately 2.4 million SNPs in 27,715 east Asians and three additional loci nearly reached the genome-wide significance threshold may shed light on new pathways involved in obesity and demonstrate the value of conducting genetic studies in non-European populations.
