Cardiometabolic Disease Risk Loci Share Downstream Regulation

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Gene loci linked to cardiometabolic diseases like hypertension and impaired glucose metabolism share downstream regulatory networks, according to an international team of researchers.Cardiometabolic diseases are often a harbinger of coronary artery disease, and while genome-wide association studies have uncovered hundred of variants associated with coronary artery disease risk, the researchers noted that these loci only explain a small portion of the expected heritable variance in cardiometabolic disease risk.

Your Celiac Disease Risk Is Tied To Where And When You Were Born

In the U.S. and most of the Western world, about one percent of the population will be diagnosed with celiac disease, an immune disorder in which the body can't properly digest the wheat protein gluten.It leads to intestinal damage that can jeopardize nutrient absorption.But in Sweden, the rate of celiac disease is almost double that, at 1.8 percent.Sweden's "epidemic" of celiac disease started in the late 80s and early 90s.
