Genome-wide association study identifies six new loci influencing pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure
(2011)Numerous genetic loci have been associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in Europeans. We now report genome-wide association studies of pulse pressure (PP) and mean arterial pressure ... -
PR interval genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies 50 loci associated with atrial and atrioventricular electrical activity
(2018)Electrocardiographic PR interval measures atrio-ventricular depolarization and conduction, and abnormal PR interval is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation and heart block. Our genome-wide association study of over 92,000 ... -
Integration of genome-wide association studies with biological knowledge identifies six novel genes related to kidney function
(2012)In conducting genome-wide association studies (GWAS), analytical approaches leveraging biological information may further understanding of the pathophysiology of clinical traits. To discover novel associations with estimated ... -
Discovery and fine mapping of serum protein loci through transethnic meta-analysis
(2012)Many disorders are associated with altered serum protein concentrations, including malnutrition, cancer, and cardiovascular, kidney, and inflammatory diseases. Although these protein concentrations are highly heritable, ... -
Genome-wide association and functional follow-up reveals new loci for kidney function
(2012)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important public health problem with a genetic component. We performed genome-wide association studies in up to 130,600 European ancestry participants overall, and stratified for key CKD ... -
Causal relationship between obesity and vitamin D status: bi-directional Mendelian randomization analysis of multiple cohorts
(2013)BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with vitamin D deficiency, and both are areas of active public health concern. We explored the causality and direction of the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and 25-hydroxyvitamin ... -
Large-scale association analyses identify new loci influencing glycemic traits and provide insight into the underlying biological pathways
(2012)Through genome-wide association meta-analyses of up to 133,010 individuals of European ancestry without diabetes, including individuals newly genotyped using the Metabochip, we have increased the number of confirmed loci ... -
New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk
(2010)Levels of circulating glucose are tightly regulated. To identify new loci influencing glycemic traits, we performed meta-analyses of 21 genome-wide association studies informative for fasting glucose, fasting insulin and ... -
Genome-wide association meta-analysis of PR interval identifies 50 novel loci associated with atrial and atrioventricular electrical activity
(2018)Electrocardiographic PR interval measures atrio-ventricular depolarization and conduction, and abnormal PR interval is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation and heart block. Our genome-wide association study of over 92,000 ...
