The nearby gene, MMP12, was significantly over expressed in carotid plaques compared to atherosclerosis-free control arteries (p = 1.2×10-15; fold change = 335.6). Permutation analyses demonstrated improved significance for associations when accounting for age-at-onset in all four stroke phenotypes (p<0.001). Our results show that a covariate-informed design, by adjusting for age-at-onset of stroke, can detect variants not identified by conventional GWAS.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:21:31 AEST ]]> Genome-wide association study of kidney function decline in individuals of European descent. https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17347 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:01:42 AEDT ]]> Shared genetic basis for migraine and ischemic stroke: a genome-wide analysis of common variants https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25600 -28 for the LAS polygenic score in MO) and between MO and cardioembolic stroke (CE; p 2.7 x 10-20 for the CE score in MO). Conclusions: Our findings indicate shared genetic susceptibility to migraine and IS, with a particularly strong overlap between MO and both LAS and CE pointing towards shared mechanisms. Our observations on MA are consistent with a limited role of common genetic variants in this subtype.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:03 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 ]]>
