Multi-allelic haplotype association identifies novel information different from single-SNP analysis: a new protective haplotype in the LRP8 gene is against familial and early-onset CAD and MI.

TLDR
This study analyzed four additional SNPs near R952Q to identify a specific LRP8 SNP haplotype that is associated with familial and early-onset coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI) in American and Italian Caucasian populations to suggest that a common L RP8 haplotype TCCGC confers a significant protective effect on the development of familial, early-ONSet CAD and/or MI.

Identification of heart rate–associated loci and their effects on cardiac conduction and rhythm disorders

Marcel den Hoed, +267 more
- 01 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: A 2-stage meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in up to 181,171 individuals identified 14 new loci associated with heart rate and confirmed associations with all 7 previously established loci, providing fresh insights into the mechanisms regulating heart rate.

Genetics of coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: The clinical heterogeneity of CAD and MI is described to clarify the disease spectrum in genetic studies, and multiple genetic factors associated with an increased risk of in-stent restenosis following stent placement for obstructive CAD are identified.

Genetic variants of ApoE and ApoER2 differentially modulate endothelial function

TL;DR: It is reported that in endothelial cells apoE3 binding to ApoER2 stimulates endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) and endothelial cell migration, and it also attenuates monocyte–endothelial cell adhesion, however, apOE4 does not stimulate eNOS or endothelium migration or dampen cellAdhesion, and alternatively it selectively antagonizes apo E3/ApoER2 actions.

Apolipoprotein E receptor-2 deficiency enhances macrophage susceptibility to lipid accumulation and cell death to augment atherosclerotic plaque progression and necrosis.

TL;DR: This study indicates that apoER2 in macrophages limits PParγ expression and protects against oxLDL-induced cell death, and suggests that LRP8 polymorphism may be a genetic modifier of cardiovascular risk with PPARγ therapy.

Interaction between prenatal pesticide exposure and a common polymorphism in the PON1 gene on DNA methylation in genes associated with cardio-metabolic disease risk—an exploratory study

TL;DR: Investigating whether DNA methylation patterns in blood cells were related to prenatal pesticide exposure level, PON1 Q192R genotype, and associated metabolic effects observed in the children found it necessary to identify possible candidate genes which mediated the associations between pesticide exposure and increased leptin level, body fat percentage, and difference in BMI Z score between birth and school age.

Circulating activated platelets exacerbate atherosclerosis in mice deficient in apolipoprotein E

TL;DR: The results indicate that circulating activated platelets and platelet–leukocyte/monocyte aggregates promote formation of atherosclerotic lesions.

The family history--more important than ever.

TL;DR: The authors make the case for taking a good family history in the era of genomic medicine and provide a computer tool that can be downloaded and used by patients to help record this history.
