Large-scale association analysis identifies 13 new susceptibility loci for coronary artery disease.
نویسنده
چکیده
We performed a meta-analysis of 4 genome-wide association studies of coronary artery disease (CAD) comprising 22,233 individuals with CAD (cases) and 64,762 controls of European descent followed by genotyping of top association signals in 56,682 additional individuals. This analysis identified 3 loci newly associated with CAD at P < 5 × 0−8 and confirmed the association of 0 of 2 previously reported CAD loci. The 3 new loci showed risk allele frequencies ranging from 0. 3 to 0.9 and were associated with a 6% to 7% increase in the risk of CAD per allele. Notably, only three of the new loci showed significant association with traditional CAD risk factors and the majority lie in gene regions not previously implicated in the pathogenesis of CAD. Finally, five of the new CAD risk loci appear to have pleiotropic effects, showing strong association with various other human diseases or traits.

Cardiovascular Genetics: A News Round-Up Large-Scale Association Analysis Identifies 13 New Susceptibility Loci for Coronary Artery Disease
Study Hypothesis Recently, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several common variants that are associated with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI). The authors state that the current loci discovered in CAD and MI GWAS explain only a small fraction of the heritability of this complex disease. The authors hypothesized that a larger study would ...

Psoriasis cases from Sweden were all carefully phenotyped by two dermatologists and were identified within 12 months from disease onset. Healthy controls were selected from the Swedish Population Registry and matched for age and sex. Swedish cases and controls were genotyped on the Illumina 550K platform and passed the following quality control measures: call rate > 95%, MAF > 0.01, Hardy-Weinb...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) including myocardial infarction (MI) as its complication, is one of the most common heart diseases worldwide and also in Iran, with extremely elevated mortality. CAD is a multifactorial disorder. Twin and family studies at different loci have demonstrated that genetic factors have an important role in the progression of CAD. Many studies have reported a significant...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified >50 common variants associated with CAD or its complication myocardial infarction (MI), but collectively they account for <20% of heritability, generating a phenomena of "missing heritability". Rare variants with large effects may account for a large portion of missing...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) has a significant genetic contribution that is incompletely characterized. To complement genome-wide association (GWA) studies, we conducted a large and systematic candidate gene study of CAD susceptibility, including analysis of many uncommon and functional variants. We examined 49,094 genetic variants in ∼2,100 genes of cardiovascular relevance, using a customise...
