Predicting novel candidate human obesity genes and their site of action by systematic functional screening in Drosophila.

PLoS biology

Agrawal N, Lawler K, Davidson CM, Keogh JM, Legg R, Barroso I, Farooqi IS, Brand AH.
PMID: 34748544
PLoS Biol. 2021 Nov 08;19(11):e3001255. doi: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3001255. eCollection 2021 Nov.

The discovery of human obesity-associated genes can reveal new mechanisms to target for weight loss therapy. Genetic studies of obese individuals and the analysis of rare genetic variants can identify novel obesity-associated genes. However, establishing a functional relationship between...

Optimizing Surveillance and Re-intervention Strategy Following Elective Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.

Annals of surgery

Ann Surg. 2021 Dec 01;274(6):e589-e598. doi: 10.1097/SLA.0000000000003625.

BACKGROUND: EVAR for abdominal aortic aneurysm has an initial survival advantage over OR, but more frequent complications increase costs and long-term aneurysm-related mortality. Randomized controlled trials of EVAR versus OR have shown EVAR is not cost-effective over a patient's...

Assessment of patient-derived tumour xenografts (PDXs) as a discovery tool for cancer epigenomics.

Background There is controversy about associations between total dietary fatty acids, their classes (saturated fatty acids [SFAs], monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids), and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Specifically, the relevance of food sources of SFAs...

Risk Prediction Using Polygenic Risk Scores for Prevention of Stroke and Other Cardiovascular Diseases.

Stroke

Stroke. 2021 Aug;52(9):2983-2991. doi: 10.1161/STROKEAHA.120.032619. Epub 2021 Aug 17.

Early prediction of risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including stroke, is a cornerstone of disease prevention. Clinical risk scores have been widely used for predicting CVD risk from known risk factors. Most CVDs have a substantial genetic component, which...
