Genetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk

Genome-wide association study of 14,000 cases of seven common diseases and 3,000 shared controls

There is increasing evidence that genome-wide association (GWA) studies represent a powerful approach to the identification of genes involved in common human diseases. We descri...

Novel insights into the genetics of smoking behaviour, lung function, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (UK BiLEVE): a genetic association study in UK Biobank

Haplotype estimation for biobank-scale data sets

Genome-wide association analysis identifies novel blood pressure loci and offers biological insights into cardiovascular risk

Elevated blood pressure is the leading heritable risk factor for cardiovascular disease worldwide. We report genetic association of blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, pulse pr...

Genome-wide association study of CNVs in 16,000 cases of eight common diseases and 3,000 shared controls

Copy number variants (CNVs) account for a major proportion of human genetic polymorphism and have been predicted to have an important role in genetic susceptibility to common di...
