Large-scale gene-centric analysis identifies novel variants for coronary artery disease [PDF]

, 2011
Coronary artery disease (CAD) has a significant genetic contribution that is incompletely characterized. To complement genome-wide association (GWA) studies, we conducted a large and systematic candidate gene study of CAD susceptibility, including ...

Association Between Prolactin and Incidence of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in the Framingham Heart Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundProlactin is an anterior pituitary hormone that may modulate the adverse effects of obesity. Prolactin has been associated with cardiovascular disease mortality, but less is known about whether prolactin predicts incidence of cardiovascular ...

Genome‐wide mapping of plasma protein QTLs identifies putatively causal genes and pathways for cardiovascular disease

Nature Communications, 2018
Genetic variation can influence levels of disease-related plasma proteins and, thus, contribute to the pathogenesis of complex diseases. Here, the authors perform genome-wide QTL analysis for 71 plasma proteins to identify causal proteins for coronary ...

Relationship between cardiovascular risk and lipid testing in one health care system: a retrospective cohort study. [PDF]

, 2015
BackgroundThe US Preventive Services Taskforce (USPSTF) recommends routine lipid screening beginning age 35 for men [1]. For women age 20 and older, as well as men age 20-34, screening is recommended if cardiovascular risk factors are present.

Sex-specific differences in the genetic and environmental effects on cardiac phenotypic variation assessed by echocardiography

Scientific Reports, 2023
The drivers of sexual dimorphism in heart failure phenotypes are currently poorly understood. Divergent phenotypes may result from differences in heritability and genetic versus environmental influences on the interplay of cardiac structure and function.
