Advances in Genetics Genome-Wide Association Studies for Atherosclerotic Vascular Disease and Its Risk Factors
Atherosclerotic vascular disease is a major health care burden, being the leading cause of morbidity and death worldwide.1 A better understanding of the genetic basis of atherosclerotic vascular disease is urgently needed to provide new insights into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and facilitate development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. The advent of genome-wide ...

متن کاملRisk prediction using genome-wide association studies.
Over the last few years, many new genetic associations have been identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). There are potentially many uses of these identified variants: a better understanding of disease etiology, personalized medicine, new leads for studying underlying biology, and risk prediction. Recently, there has been some skepticism regarding the prospects of risk prediction u...
متن کاملGenome-wide association studies in Alzheimer disease.
The genetics of Alzheimer disease (AD) to date support an age-dependent dichotomous model whereby earlier age of disease onset (< 60 years) is explained by 3 fully penetrant genes (APP [NCBI Entrez gene 351], PSEN1 [NCBI Entrez gene 5663], and PSEN2 [NCBI Entrez gene 5664]), whereas later age of disease onset (> or = 65 years) representing most cases of AD has yet to be explained by a purely ge...
متن کاملGenome-wide association studies in Alzheimer's disease.
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have gained considerable momentum over the last couple of years for the identification of novel complex disease genes. In the field of Alzheimer's disease (AD), there are currently eight published and two provisionally reported GWAS, highlighting over two dozen novel potential susceptibility loci beyond the well-established APOE association. On the basis o...
