He K, Kelly T, Wang H, Liang J, Zhu L, Cade B, et al.
BMC Genomics . 2022 Feb; 23(1):148. PMID: 35183128
Background: While large genome-wide association studies have identified nearly one thousand loci associated with variation in blood pressure, rare variant identification is still a challenge. In family-based cohorts, genome-wide linkage...

Spahillari A, Zhu J, Ferket B, Hunink M, Carr J, Terry J, et al.
JAMA Cardiol . 2020 May; 5(8):871-880. PMID: 32401264
Importance: Clinical and economic consequences of statin treatment guidelines supplemented by targeted coronary artery calcium (CAC) assessment have not been evaluated in African American individuals, who are at increased risk...

He K, Li X, Kelly T, Liang J, Cade B, Assimes T, et al.
Hum Genet . 2019 Jan; 138(2):199-210. PMID: 30671673
In this study, we investigated low-frequency and rare variants associated with blood pressure (BP) by focusing on a linkage region on chromosome 16p13. We used whole genome sequencing (WGS) data...

Lunyera J, Davenport C, Pendergast J, Musani S, Bhavsar N, Sims M, et al.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab . 2019 Jan; 104(6):2267-2276. PMID: 30668751
Background: 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is lower in black compared with white Americans but is not consistently associated with outcomes in this group, possibly due to genetic and other biological differences....

Jordan C, Glover L, Gao Y, Musani S, Mwasongwe S, Wilson J, et al.
Stress Health . 2018 Nov; 35(2):138-145. PMID: 30407711
Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a biomarker of cellular aging. African Americans report more stress than other groups; however, the association of psychosocial stressors with biological aging among African Americans...

Oelsner E, Balte P, Cassano P, Couper D, Enright P, Folsom A, et al.
Am J Epidemiol . 2018 Jul; 187(11):2265-2278. PMID: 29982273
Chronic lower respiratory diseases (CLRDs) are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. To support investigations into CLRD risk determinants and new approaches to primary prevention, we...

Mentz R, Greiner M, Muntner P, Shimbo D, Sims M, Spruill T, et al.
Am Heart J . 2018 Jun; 200:51-59. PMID: 29898849
Background: Non-adherence to medications is common and leads to suboptimal outcomes. Non-adherence can be intentional (e.g., deciding to skip dosages) or unintentional (e.g., forgetting), yet few studies have distinguished these...

Mwasongwe S, Min Y, Booth 3rd J, Katz R, Sims M, Correa A, et al.
J Hypertens . 2018 Mar; 36(7):1524-1532. PMID: 29601413
Background: Hypertension diagnosed by blood pressure (BP) measured in the clinic is associated with rapid kidney function decline (RKFD) and incident chronic kidney disease (CKD). The extent to which hypertension...

Basu S, Sussman J, Berkowitz S, Hayward R, Bertoni A, Correa A, et al.
Diabetes Care . 2017 Dec; 41(3):586-595. PMID: 29269511
Objective: We sought to validate Risk Equations for Complications of Type 2 Diabetes (RECODe) among diverse populations. Research Design And Methods: We compared risk predictions from RECODe equations and from...

Smith J, Zhao W, Yasutake K, August C, Ratliff S, Faul J, et al.
Int J Environ Res Public Health . 2017 Dec; 14(12). PMID: 29258278
Inter-individual variability in blood pressure (BP) is influenced by both genetic and non-genetic factors including socioeconomic and psychosocial stressors. A deeper understanding of the gene-by-socioeconomic/psychosocial factor interactions on BP may...
