Respir Res . 2015 Jul; 16:81. PMID: 26122139
Background: Vitamin D is associated with lung function in cross-sectional studies, and vitamin D inadequacy is hypothesized to play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Further...

Mol Psychiatry . 2015 Apr; 21(2):189-197. PMID: 25869804
To identify common variants contributing to normal variation in two specific domains of cognitive functioning, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of executive functioning and information processing speed in...

Jun G, Ibrahim-Verbaas C, Vronskaya M, Lambert J, Chung J, Naj A, et al.
Mol Psychiatry . 2015 Mar; 21(1):108-17. PMID: 25778476
APOE ɛ4, the most significant genetic risk factor for Alzheimer disease (AD), may mask effects of other loci. We re-analyzed genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from the International Genomics of...

Davies G, Armstrong N, Bis J, Bressler J, Chouraki V, Giddaluru S, et al.
Mol Psychiatry . 2015 Feb; 20(2):183-92. PMID: 25644384
General cognitive function is substantially heritable across the human life course from adolescence to old age. We investigated the genetic contribution to variation in this important, health- and well-being-related trait...

Gottlieb D, Hek K, Chen T, Watson N, Eiriksdottir G, Byrne E, et al.
Mol Psychiatry . 2014 Dec; 20(10):1232-9. PMID: 25469926
Usual sleep duration is a heritable trait correlated with psychiatric morbidity, cardiometabolic disease and mortality, although little is known about the genetic variants influencing this trait. A genome-wide association study...

Alfirevic A, Neely D, Armitage J, Chinoy H, Cooper R, Laaksonen R, et al.
Clin Pharmacol Ther . 2014 Jun; 96(4):470-6. PMID: 24897241
Statins are widely used lipid-lowering drugs that are effective in reducing cardiovascular disease risk. Although they are generally well tolerated, they can cause muscle toxicity, which can lead to severe...

J Thromb Haemost . 2014 Mar; 12(6):879-86. PMID: 24628832
Background: The risk of venous thrombosis (VT) associated with oral hormone therapy (HT) may differ by type of estrogen compound. Objective: To compare the thrombotic profile of women using oral...

J Thromb Haemost . 2014 Mar; 12(6):999-1005. PMID: 24628740
Objective: Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is probably a specific marker of vascular inflammation. However, associations of PTX3 with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk have not been well studied in healthy adults or...

Nat Genet . 2013 Oct; 45(12):1452-8. PMID: 24162737
Eleven susceptibility loci for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) were identified by previous studies; however, a large portion of the genetic risk for this disease remains unexplained. We conducted a large,...
