PMID: 34782789
Nat Med. 2021 Nov;27(11):1876-1884. doi: 10.1038/s41591-021-01549-6. Epub 2021 Nov 15.

Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) aggregate the many small effects of alleles across the human genome to estimate the risk of a disease or disease-related trait for an individual. The potential benefits of PRSs include cost-effective enhancement of primary disease...

PMID: 34930451
BMC Res Notes. 2021 Dec 20;14(1):457. doi: 10.1186/s13104-021-05879-z.

OBJECTIVE: The Angiotensin 1 converting enzyme (ACE1) gene plays a critical role in regulating blood pressure and thus, it has become a major therapeutic target of antihypertensives. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) occurring within a gene most especially at the...

PMID: 34078102
Stroke. 2021 Aug;52(8):2680-2684. doi: 10.1161/STROKEAHA.121.034747. Epub 2021 Jun 03.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Metabolic traits affect ischemic stroke (IS) risk, but the degree to which this varies across different ethnic ancestries is not known. Our aim was to apply Mendelian randomization to investigate the causal effects of type 2...
