Open AccessEvaluating the precision of EBF1 SNP x stress interaction association: sex, race, and age differences in a big harmonized data set of 28,026 participants
In prior work, we identified a novel gene-by-stress association of EBF1’s common variation (SNP rs4704963) with obesity (i.e., hip, waist) in Whites, which was further strengthened through multiple replications u...

Gene-educational attainment interactions in a multi-ancestry genome-wide meta-analysis identify novel blood pressure loci
Educational attainment is widely used as a surrogate for socioeconomic status (SES). Low SES is a risk factor for hypertension and high blood pressure (BP). To identify novel BP loci, we performed multi-ancest...

Multi-ancestry genome-wide gene–sleep interactions identify novel loci for blood pressure
Long and short sleep duration are associated with elevated blood pressure (BP), possibly through effects on molecular pathways that influence neuroendocrine and vascular systems. To gain new insights into the ...
