Because these loci had prior evidence for genome-wide significance for CAD, we specifically analyzed the respective signals for IS and LAS and found evidence for association at chr12q24/SH2B3 (PIS=1.62x10-7) and ABO (PIS=2.6x10-4), as well as at HDAC9 (PLAS=2.32x10-12), 9p21 (PLAS=3.70x10-6), RAI1-PEMT-RASD1 (PLAS=2.69x10-5), EDNRA (PLAS=7.29x10-4), and CYP17A1-CNNM2-NT5C2 (PLAS=4.9x10-4). Conclusions-Our results demonstrate substantial overlap in the genetic risk of IS and particularly the LAS subtype with CAD.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:46 AEDT ]]> Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21465 DRD2 and several genes involved in glutamatergic neurotransmission highlight molecules of known and potential therapeutic relevance to schizophrenia, and are consistent with leading pathophysiological hypotheses. Independent of genes expressed in brain, associations were enriched among genes expressed in tissues that have important roles in immunity, providing support for the speculated link between the immune system and schizophrenia.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:31 AEDT ]]> Genome-wide association study identifies a variant in HDAC9 associated with large vessel ischemic stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25277 −11; odds ratio (OR) = 1.42, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.28–1.57). All four loci exhibited evidence for heterogeneity of effect across the stroke subtypes, with some and possibly all affecting risk for only one subtype. This suggests distinct genetic architectures for different stroke subtypes.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:38:17 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 ]]>
