Only the association with cardioembolic stroke was robust in sensitivity analyses. There was no association of genetically predicted serum calcium concentrations with all ischemic stroke (per 0.5 mg/dL [about 1 SD] increase in serum calcium: odds ratio 1.03, 95% CI 0.88–1.21) or with any subtype. Conclusions: This study found that genetically higher serum magnesium concentrations are associated with a reduced risk of cardioembolic stroke but found no significant association of genetically higher serum calcium concentrations with any ischemic stroke subtype.]]> Wed 22 Mar 2023 17:11:50 AEDT ]]> Contribution of Common Genetic Variants to Risk of Early-Onset Ischemic Stroke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52000 Tue 26 Sep 2023 11:29:09 AEST ]]> A Saturated Map of Common Genetic Variants Associated with Human Height https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50431 Tue 25 Jul 2023 19:01:27 AEST ]]> A Multi-Layer Functional Genomic Analysis to Understand Noncoding Genetic Variation in Lipids https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50411 Tue 25 Jul 2023 17:30:33 AEST ]]> Multiancestry genome-wide association study of 520,000 subjects identifies 32 loci associated with stroke and stroke subtypes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47666 Tue 24 Jan 2023 15:47:40 AEDT ]]> The power of genetic diversity in genome-wide association studies of lipids https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48599 Tue 04 Apr 2023 19:22:25 AEST ]]> Dairy intake and body composition and cardiometabolic traits among adults: mendelian randomization analysis of 182041 individuals from 18 studies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48483 LCT-13910 C/T, rs4988235) associated with dairy intake as an instrumental variable (IV). The causal effects of dairy intake on body composition and cardiometabolic traits (lipids, glycemic traits, and inflammatory factors) were quantified by IV estimators among 182041 participants from 18 studies. Results: Each 1 serving/day higher dairy intake was associated with higher lean mass [β (SE) = 0.117 kg (0.035); P = 0.001], higher hemoglobin A1c [0.009% (0.002); P < 0.001], lower LDL [-0.014 mmol/L (0.006); P = 0.013], total cholesterol (TC) [-0.012 mmol/L (0.005); P = 0.023], and non-HDL [-0.012 mmol/L (0.005); P = 0.028]. The LCT-13910 C/T CT + TT genotype was associated with 0.214 more dairy servings/day (SE = 0.047; P < 0.001), 0.284 cm higher waist circumference (SE = 0.118; P = 0.017), 0.112 kg higher lean mass (SE = 0.027; P = 3.8 x 10-5), 0.032 mmol/L lower LDL (SE = 0.009; P = 0.001), and 0.032 mmol/L lower TC (SE = 0.010; P = 0.001). Genetically higher dairy intake was associated with increased lean mass [0.523 kg per serving/day (0.170); P = 0.002] after correction for multiple testing (0.05/18). However, we find that genetically higher dairy intake was not associated with lipids and glycemic traits. Conclusions: The present study provides evidence to support a potential causal effect of higher dairy intake on increased lean mass among adults. Our findings suggest that the observational associations of dairy intake with lipids and glycemic traits may be the result of confounding.]]> Mon 20 Mar 2023 10:41:47 AEDT ]]> Implicating genes, pleiotropy, and sexual dimorphism at blood lipid loci through multi-ancestry meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53055 Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:47:02 AEDT ]]>
