Open AccessGenetic drivers of heterogeneity in type 2 diabetes pathophysiology
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a heterogeneous disease that develops through diverse pathophysiological processes1,2 and molecular mechanisms that are often specific to cell type3,4. Here, to characterize the genetic c...

Open AccessPrevalence and prognosis of genetically proven familial hypercholesterolemia in subjects with coronary artery disease and reduced ejection fraction
Few studies have genetically screened variants related to familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and investigated their survival impact in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and reduced left ventricular e...

Open AccessEmpagliflozin is associated with lower cardiovascular risk compared with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in adults with and without cardiovascular disease: EMPagliflozin compaRative effectIveness and SafEty (EMPRISE) study results from Europe and Asia
Studies that have reported lower risk for cardiovascular outcomes in users of Sodium–Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors (SGLT-2i) are limited by residual cofounding and lack of information on prior cardiovascu...

Open AccessMulti-ancestry transcriptome-wide association analyses yield insights into tobacco use biology and drug repurposing
Most transcriptome-wide association studies (TWASs) so far focus on European ancestry and lack diversity. To overcome this limitation, we aggregated genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics, who...

Open AccessA novel kidney disease index reflecting both the albumin-to-creatinine ratio and estimated glomerular filtration rate, predicted cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in type 2 diabetes
The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) are risk factors for diabetes-related outcomes. A composite that captures information from both may provide a simpler w...

Open AccessCombined associations of family history and self-management with age at diagnosis and cardiometabolic risk in 86,931 patients with type 2 diabetes: Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE) Register from 11 countries
Family history (FamH) of type 2 diabetes might indicate shared genotypes, environments, and/or behaviors. We hypothesize that FamH interacts with unhealthy behaviors to increase the risk of early onset of diab...

Article
Multi-ancestry genetic study of type 2 diabetes highlights the power of diverse populations for discovery and translation
We assembled an ancestrally diverse collection of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in 180,834 affected individuals and 1,159,055 controls (48.9% non-European descent) through the...

Open AccessRare coding variants in RCN3 are associated with blood pressure
While large genome-wide association studies have identified nearly one thousand loci associated with variation in blood pressure, rare variant identification is still a challenge. In family-based cohorts, geno...

Subjects with coronary artery disease and reduced ejection fraction have longer (GT)n repeats in the heme-oxygenase 1 gene promoter
Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 is a rate-limiting enzyme for degrading heme into carbon monoxide. Longer (GT)n repeat of the HO-1 gene (HMOX1) promoter has a lower transcription rate. Subjects with longer GT repeats in th...

Article
Open AccessLoss-of-function genomic variants highlight potential therapeutic targets for cardiovascular disease
Pharmaceutical drugs targeting dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease (CVD) may increase the risk of fatty liver disease and other metabolic disorders. To identify potential novel CVD drug targets without the...

Article
Discovery of rare variants associated with blood pressure regulation through meta-analysis of 1.3 million individuals
Genetic studies of blood pressure (BP) to date have mainly analyzed common variants (minor allele frequency > 0.05). In a meta-analysis of up to ~1.3 million participants, we discovered 106 new BP-associated g...

Open AccessTotal cardiovascular or fatal events in people with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors treated with dulaglutide in the REWIND trail: a post hoc analysis
The Researching cardiovascular Events with a Weekly INcretin in Diabetes (REWIND) double blind randomized trial demonstrated that weekly subcutaneous dulaglutide 1.5 mg, a glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agon...

Open AccessImpact of Liver Cirrhosis on Incidence of Dialysis Among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Renal injury is a common complication of liver cirrhosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of this study was to analyze the association between cirrhosis and dialysis in patients with T2DM.

Identification of type 2 diabetes loci in 433,540 East Asian individuals
Meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 240 loci that are associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D)1,2; however, most of these loci have been identified in analyses of indivi...

Open AccessAssociations of autozygosity with a broad range of human phenotypes
In many species, the offspring of related parents suffer reduced reproductive success, a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. In humans, the importance of this effect has remained unclear, partly because...

Impact of Anthracyclines on Diabetes Mellitus Development in B-Cell Lymphoma Patients: A Nationwide Population-based Study
Although anthracyclines are effective chemotherapeutic agents for treating B-cell lymphoma, adverse effects, such as bone marrow suppression and cardiotoxicity, limit their clinical application. We assessed wh...
