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 ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Genetic Variation Underlying Central Obesity amongst South Asians
South Asians are 1/4 of the world's population and have increased susceptibility to central obesity and related cardiometabolic disease. Knowledge of genetic variants affecting risk of central obesity is largely based on genome-wide association studies of common SNPs in Europeans. To evaluate the contribution of DNA sequence variation to the higher levels of central obesity (defined as waist hi...
متن کاملAssociation of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disease Genes with Psoriasis
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...
متن کاملDirect Bisulfite Sequencing and Methylation Specific PCR to Detect Methylation of p15INK4b and F7 genes in Coronary Artery Disease Patients
Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variants contributing to the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) at the chromosome 9p21 locus. The chromosome 9p21 is an important susceptibility locus for several multifactorial diseases like ischemic stroke, aortic aneurysm, type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease (CAD). F7 gene because of its role in activating the ...
متن کاملLarge-scale association analysis identifies 13 new susceptibility loci for coronary artery disease.
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 rep...
