Two loci previously associated with spirometric measures (GSTCD and PTCH1) were related to FVC. Newly implicated regions were followed up in samples from African-American, Korean, Chinese and Hispanic individuals. We detected transcripts for all six newly implicated genes in human lung tissue. The new loci may inform mechanisms involved in lung development and the pathogenesis of restrictive lung disease.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:01 AEDT ]]> Genetic susceptibility, dietary antioxidants, and long-term incidence of age-related macular degeneration in two populations https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21315 P = 0.0009) but nonsignificant interactions between genetic risk status and weekly fish consumption (P = 0.05) for risk of any AMD. Among participants with high genetic risk, the highest intake tertile of LZ was associated with a >20% reduced risk of early AMD, and weekly consumption of fish was associated with a 40% reduced risk of late AMD. No similar association was evident among participants with low genetic risk. No interaction was detected between ß-carotene or vitamin C and genetic risk status. Conclusions Protection against AMD from greater LZ and fish consumption in persons with high genetic risk based on 2 major AMD genes raises the possibility of personalized preventive interventions.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:47 AEDT ]]> Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30005 Mon 17 Oct 2022 12:06:14 AEDT ]]> Five-year progression of unilateral age-related macular degeneration to bilateral involvement: the three continent AMD consortium report https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31934 complement factor H and age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 genes (compared with none, OR 1.76 for 1 risk allele and OR 3.34 for 2+ risk alleles), smoking (compared with non-smokers, OR 1.64 for past and OR 1.67 for current smokers), and the presence of large drusen area or retinal pigmentary abnormalities in the first eye. Conclusion: One in four to one in five unilateral any AMD cases, and up to one in two unilateral late AMD cases, progressed to bilateral in 5 years. Known AMD risk factors, including smoking, are significantly associated with the progression to bilateral involvement.]]> Mon 09 Apr 2018 11:32:09 AEST ]]> Relative effects of LDL-C on ischemic stroke and coronary disease: a Mendelian randomization study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42483 p = 1.1 x 10−8). By contrast, the causal effect of LDL-C was much weaker for IS (OR 1.12, 95% CI 0.96−1.30, p = 0.14; p for heterogeneity = 2.6 x 10−3) and, in particular, for cardioembolic stroke (OR 1.06, 95% CI 0.84−1.33, p = 0.64; p for heterogeneity = 8.6 x 10−3) when compared with that for CHD. Conclusions: In contrast with the consistent effects of LDL-C-lowering therapies on IS and CHD, genetic variants that confer lifelong LDL-C differences show a weaker effect on IS than on CHD. The relevance of etiologically distinct IS subtypes may contribute to the differences observed.]]> Fri 26 Aug 2022 13:56:54 AEST ]]> Prediction of age-related macular degeneration in the general population: the three continent AMD consortium https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18788 Fri 15 May 2020 06:43:18 AEST ]]>
