Raw fruits and veggies may offset genetic risk for heart disease: Study

news-medical.net — “In a new study a team of researchers looked at the genotypes of 27,243 people from two separate studies to see if they had a certain gene variant. Earlier studies including a 2010 meta-analysis in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. found that the 9p21 gene is associated with a higher risk of heart attack and cardiovascular disease.View full resource at news-medical.net

Landmark international study confirms common genetic contribution to mental illness

news-medical.net — “An international research consortium has confirmed that common genetic variants contribute to a person’s risk of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The largest study of its kind provides new molecular evidence that 11 regions have strong association with these diseases, including six regions not previously observed. The researchers also found that many of these DNA variations contribute to both diseases. The findings, reported by the Psychiatric Genome-Wide Association Study Consortium (PGC) anView full resource at news-medical.net

Genetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk : Nature : Nature Publishing Group

nature.com — “Blood pressure is a heritable trait influenced by several biological pathways and responsive to environmental stimuli. Over one billion people worldwide have hypertension ([ge]140[thinsp]mm[thinsp]Hg systolic blood pressure or[thinsp][ge]90[thinsp]mm[thinsp]Hg diastolic blood pressure). Even small increments in blood pressure are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events.

Genome-wide hunts reveal new regulators of blood pressure

eurekalert.org — “A study involving more than 200,000 people worldwide has identified 29 DNA sequence variations in locations across the human genome that influence blood pressure. These genes, whose sequence changes are associated with alterations in blood pressure and are linked to heart disease and stroke, were found with the help of decades' worth of population data that were pooled and analyzed by a large international consortium, including Johns Hopkins researchers.View full resource at eurekalert.org

Common gene variant associated with aortic dissection: Study reveals risk factor that doubles chance of developing silent killer

sciencedaily.com — “Richard Holbrooke, John Ritter, Lucille Ball, Jonathan Larson and Great Britain's King George II were all taken by the same silent killer: an acute aortic dissection. Now, scientists have found an association with a common genetic variant in the population that predisposes people to acute dissections and can approximately double a person's chances of having the disease.View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Decoding infidelity linked to Type 2 diabetes

eurekalert.org — “A combination of genetic and environmental factors causes an individual to develop Type 2 diabetes. Among the most reproducible genetic variations associated with the disease are those in the CDKAL1 gene. However, the mechanisms underlying these associations have not yet been determined. But now, researchers have generated evidence in mice that could potentially explain why individuals carrying certain variants of the CDKAL1 gene are at increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.View full resource at eurekalert.org

Genetic discovery offers new hope in fight against deadly pulmonary fibrosis

sciencedaily.com — “Researchers have discovered a genetic variant that increases the risk of developing pulmonary fibrosis by 7 to 22 times. The discovery identifies a major risk factor for pulmonary fibrosis and points in an entirely new direction for research into the causes and potential treatments for this difficult and deadly disease. Nearly two-thirds of patients carry the genetic variation, which is associated with a gene that codes for a mucus-forming protein.View full resource at sciencedaily.com
