Blood pressure is a heritable trait 1 influenced by several biological pathways and responsive
to environmental stimuli. Over one billion people worldwide have hypertension (≥140 mm …

Background The impact of COVID-19 on physical and mental health and employment after
hospitalisation with acute disease is not well understood. The aim of this study was to …

Elevated blood pressure is a common, heritable cause of cardiovascular disease worldwide.
To date, identification of common genetic variants influencing blood pressure has proven …

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the cause of human acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS), is a zoonotic infection of staggering proportions and social impact. Yet …

Pulmonary function measures are heritable traits that predict morbidity and mortality and
define chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We tested genome-wide association …

Elevated blood pressure is the leading heritable risk factor for cardiovascular disease
worldwide. We report genetic association of blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, pulse pressure) …

Numerous genetic loci have been associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic
blood pressure (DBP) in Europeans 1, 2, 3. We now report genome-wide association …

Although several lung cancer susceptibility loci have been identified, much of the heritability
for lung cancer remains unexplained. Here 14,803 cases and 12,262 controls of European …

Pulmonary function measures reflect respiratory health and are used in the diagnosis of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We tested genome-wide association with forced …

Background Understanding the genetic basis of airflow obstruction and smoking behaviour
is key to determining the pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). …
