Mapping Causal Biology: Mendelian Randomization in the Era of Big Data

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
Mendelian randomization (MR) leverages genetic variants to mitigate confounding biases in causal inference. This review systematically maps MR's methodological evolution, highlights its expanding applications in epidemiology and drug target validation, and outlines future directions for overcoming current biases through dynamic, multi‐omics, and cross ...

Genetic Risk Factors for Longitudinal Changes in Structural MRI in Former Organolead Workers

open access: yesJournal of Aging Research, 2011
This study examined associations between polymorphisms in three genes, apolipoprotein E (APOE), angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), and vitamin D receptor (VDR), and longitudinal change in brain volumes and white matter lesions (WML) as well as effect ...

Effects of APOE gene ε4 allele on serum lipid profiles and risk of cardiovascular disease and tumorigenesis in southern Chinese population

open access: yesWorld Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2022
Background Human apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphisms are attributable to the presence of three common alleles, namely, ε2, ε3, and ε4, which generate six genotypes, viz, E2/E2, E2/E3, E3/E3, E3/E4, E4/E4, and E2/E4.

Association of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphisms with risk of primary hyperuricemia in Uygur men, Xinjiang, China

open access: yesLipids in Health and Disease, 2015
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) participates in lipoprotein metabolism and immune regulation. This study assessed association between ApoE polymorphisms with hyperuricemia and uric acid metabolism in Uygur men, Xinjiang, China.

The impact of cardiovascular health on the association between early life adversities and late‐life cognitive outcomes in Latino older adults

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia: Behavior &Socioeconomics of Aging, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Early life adversities have been linked to negative health outcomes, though findings on their potential impact on cognition in older age are mixed. We investigated associations between early adversity and cognitive outcomes (baseline and decline) in older Latino adults, and cardiovascular health's impact on significant ...

Birth weight and blood lipid levels in Spanish adolescents: Influence of selected APOE, APOC3 and PPARgamma2 gene polymorphisms. The AVENA Study

open access: yesBMC Medical Genetics, 2008
Background There is increasing evidence indicating that genes involved in certain metabolic processes of cardiovascular diseases may be of particular influence in people with low body weight at birth. We examined whether the apolipoprotein (APO) E, APOC3

Genetic association of apolipoprotein E polymorphisms with inflammatory bowel disease.

open access: yesWorld Journal of Gastroenterology, 2015
AIM To study the association of apolipoprotein E (APOE) polymorphisms with the susceptibility of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Saudi patients. METHODS APOE genotyping was performed to evaluate the allele and genotype frequencies in 378 Saudi ...

High‐density mutation tracks are associated with proton‐beam irradiation patterns in Sorghum bicolor

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Induced mutagenesis is a cornerstone of crop functional genomics, yet the extent to which distinct radiation sources reshape the spatial distribution of mutations remains difficult to evaluate in reduced‐representation datasets. Here, we analyze a published genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) panel (192,040 loci) to compare proton‐beam and gamma ...

Relations of APOE promoter polymorphisms to LDL cholesterol and markers of subclinical atherosclerosis in young adults

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2006
The common apolipoprotein E (apoE) gene (APOE) ɛ2/ɛ3/ɛ4 polymorphism explains part of serum lipid variation, and polymorphisms in the APOE promoter region have been proposed to participate in the regulation of serum lipid levels within the most common ...

Cross‐ancestry polygenic risk scores enhance Alzheimer's disease risk prediction in multiethnic cohorts

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 80+ genetic loci associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), enabling the development of polygenic risk scores (PRS). However, the predictive accuracy of PRS in diverse populations remains low.
