GRS of BP traits were associated with BI and SSBI (p = 0.0022), without indication of directional pleiotropy. Conclusion: In this multiethnic GWAS meta-analysis, including over 20,000 population-based participants, we identified genetic risk loci for BI requiring validation once additional large datasets become available. High BP, including genetically determined, was the most significant modifiable, causal risk factor for BI.]]> Wed 04 Aug 2021 10:54:18 AEST ]]> IL12A, MPHOSPH9/CDK2AP1 and RGS1 are novel multiple sclerosis susceptibility loci https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10938 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:13:21 AEDT ]]> A non-synonymous SNP within membrane metalloendopeptidase-like 1 (MMEL1) is associated with multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10808 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:11:50 AEDT ]]>
