Association of eGFR-Related Loci Identified by GWAS with Incident CKD and ESRD
Family studies suggest a genetic component to the etiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage renal disease (ESRD). Previously, we identified 16 loci for eGFR in genome-wide association… Expand

Clinical predictors for germline mutations in head and neck paraganglioma patients: cost reduction strategy in genetic diagnostic process as fall-out.
Multiple genes and their variants that lend susceptibility to many diseases will play a major role in clinical routine. Genetics-based cost reduction strategies in diagnostic processes are important… Expand

SIRT3 deficiency impairs mitochondrial and contractile function in the heart
Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is a mitochondrial NAD+-dependent deacetylase that regulates energy metabolic enzymes by reversible protein lysine acetylation in various extracardiac tissues. The role of SIRT3 in… Expand

CD14 C(-260)-->T polymorphism, plasma levels of the soluble endotoxin receptor CD14, their association with chronic infections and risk of stable coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVES We sought to investigate the association of CD14 genotype and plasma levels of soluble (s)CD14 with risk of stable coronary artery disease (CAD), chronic infections and sensitive markers… Expand

Alu‐Alu recombination underlies the vast majority of large VHL germline deletions: Molecular characterization and genotype–phenotype correlations in VHL patients
Von Hippel‐Lindau disease (VHL) is an autosomal dominant cancer syndrome. Affected individuals are predisposed to multiple tumors, primarily of the central nervous system (CNS), eyes, adrenals, and… Expand

Germline NF1 mutational spectra and loss-of-heterozygosity analyses in patients with pheochromocytoma and neurofibromatosis type 1.
BACKGROUND Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a pheochromocytoma-associated syndrome. Because of the low prevalence of pheochromocytoma in NF1, we ascertained subjects by pheochromocytoma that also… Expand

Plasma PCSK9 is increased by fenofibrate and atorvastatin in a non-additive fashion in diabetic patients.
OBJECTIVE Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin/type 9 (PCSK9) is an inhibitor of the low density (LDL) lipoprotein receptor. Plasma PCSK9 is increased by fenofibrate and statins. Here, we… Expand
