Mendelian randomisation, lipids, and cardiovascular disease.
In The Lancet, Benjamin Voight and colleagues use mendelian randomisation analysis to invest igate the relation between HDL cholesterol and coronary heart disease. High HDL cholesterol concentration is associated with reduced risk of coronary heart disease in observational studies, but whether the association is causal cannot be unequivocally ascertained from these studies alone, and whether ra...
متن کاملMendelian forms of human hypertension and mechanisms of disease.
Mendelian forms of hypertension have ushered in a revolution in our knowledge of blood pressure and volume regulation. If we include information on syndromes involving low blood pressure, this knowledge base is doubled. Glucocorticoid remediable aldosteronism, apparent mineralocorticoid excess, and mutations in the mineralocorticoid receptor gene have given us brilliant insights into mineraloco...
متن کاملMendelian Randomization Causal Analysis Adiposity as a cause of cardiovascular disease: a Mendelian randomization study
Background: Adiposity, as indicated by body mass index (BMI), has been associated with risk of cardiovascular diseases in epidemiological studies. We aimed to investigate if these associations are causal, using Mendelian randomization (MR) methods. Methods: The associations of BMI with cardiovascular outcomes [coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure and ischaemic stroke], and associations o...
متن کاملCystatin C and Cardiovascular Disease A Mendelian Randomization Study
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies show that high circulating cystatin C is associated with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), independent of creatinine-based renal function measurements. It is unclear whether this relationship is causal, arises from residual confounding, and/or is a consequence of reverse causation. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to use Mendelian randomization to inve...
متن کاملModerate Alcohol Use and Cardiovascular Disease from Mendelian Randomization
BACKGROUND Observational studies show moderate alcohol use negatively associated with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, healthier attributes among moderate users compared to never users may confound the apparent association. A potentially less biased way to examine the association is Mendelian randomization, using alcohol metabolizing genes which influence ...
