PMID: 33726838
Clin Epigenetics. 2021 Mar 16;13(1):55. doi: 10.1186/s13148-021-01035-3.

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality among US adults. African Americans have higher burden of CVD morbidity and mortality compared to any other racial group. Identifying biomarkers for clinical risk prediction of CVD offers an...

Current Applications of Genetic Risk Scores to Cardiovascular Outcomes and Subclinical Phenotypes.

Current epidemiology reports

Epigenome-wide association study identifies DNA methylation sites associated with target organ damage in older African Americans.

Epigenetics

Ammous F, Zhao W, Ratliff SM, Kho M, Shang L, Jones AC, Chaudhary NS, Tiwari HK, Irvin MR, Arnett DK, Mosley TH, Bielak LF, Kardia SLR, Zhou X, Smith J.

Target organ damage (TOD) manifests as vascular injuries in the body organ systems associated with long-standing hypertension. DNA methylation in peripheral blood leukocytes can capture inflammatory processes and gene expression changes underlying TOD. We investigated the association between epigenome-wide...

Whole exome analyses to examine the impact of rare variants on left ventricular traits in African American participants from the HyperGEN and GENOA studies.

Journal of hypertension and management

Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, highest in prevalence among African Americans, is an established risk factor heart failure. Several genome wide association studies have identified common variants associated with LV-related quantitative-traits in African Americans. To date, however, the effect of...
