The lead single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs12445022) was also associated with cerebral white matter hyperintensities (OR [95% CI] = 1.10 [1.05-1.16] ; p = 5.3 × 10-5 ; N = 3,670), but not intracerebral hemorrhage (OR [95% CI] = 0.97 [0.84-1.12] ; p = 0.71; 1,545 cases, 1,481 controls). rs12445022 is associated with mRNA expression of ZCCHC14 in arterial tissues (p = 9.4 × 10-7) and DNA methylation at probe cg16596957 in whole blood (p = 5.3 × 10-6). Interpretation: 16q24.2 is associated with SVS. Associations of the locus with expression of ZCCHC14 and DNA methylation suggest the locus acts through changes to regulatory elements.]]> Wed 15 Dec 2021 16:10:00 AEDT ]]> A novel MMP12 locus Is associated with large artery atherosclerotic stroke using a genome-wide age-at-onset informed approach https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16959 -7), with independent replication in a second population (p = 0.0048, OR(95% CI) = 1.18(1.05–1.32); meta-analysis p = 2.6×10-8). 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 retinopathy in individuals without diabetes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15067 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:52:00 AEST ]]> Genetic risk factors for ischaemic stroke and its subtypes (the METASTROKE Collaboration): a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18827 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:01:16 AEST ]]>
