Many species of Drosophila are very important laboratory animals in almost all fields of
biological research, because of the ease of culturing on artificial media as well as of their rapid …

Background : Genome-wide association studies have so far identified 56 loci associated with
risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Many CAD loci show pleiotropy; that is, they are also …

Fasting glucose and insulin are intermediate traits for type 2 diabetes. Here we explore the
role of coding variation on these traits by analysis of variants on the HumanExome BeadChip …

Aims Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) accounts for 10% of adult mortality in Western populations.
We aim to identify potential loci associated with SCA and to identify risk factors causally …

Facilitative glucose transport is mediated by members of the glucose transporter (GLUT)
protein family that belong to the large superfamily of twelve transmembrane segment …

Context: The LIM homeobox 3 (LHX3) LIM-homeodomain transcription factor gene, found in
both man and mouse, is required for development of the pituitary and motor neurons, and is …

Background and Purpose— Recent Icelandic studies have demonstrated linkage for common
forms of stroke to chromosome 5q12 and association between phosphodiesterase4D (…

Recent genome-wide meta-analyses identified 157 loci associated with cross-sectional lipid
traits. Here we tested whether these loci associate (singly and in trait-specific genetic risk …

A Swedish pedigree with an autosomal dominant inheritance of idiopathic scoliosis was initially
studied by genetic linkage analysis, prioritising genomic regions for further analysis. This …

Background More than half of cardiovascular mortality occurs outside the hospital, mainly
due to consistently low survival rates from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods This is a …
