GenomicsGenome-Wide Association Study of Hypertriglyceridemia in Mexicans

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the number one cause of death and mortality world-wide. High levels of serum triglycerides (TGs) and low levels of serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are major risk factors for CAD. Previous epidemiological studies have shown that these two lipid d...

UnknownTwo novel variants in DYRK1B causative of AOMS3: expanding the clinical spectrum.

Background

We investigated pathogenic DYRK1B variants causative of abdominal obesity-metabolic syndrome 3 (AOMS3) in a group of patients originally diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. All DYRK1B exons were analyzed in a sample of 509 unrelated adults with type 2 diabetes and 459 controls, all be...

UnknownClinical characterization of data-driven diabetes subgroups in Mexicans using a reproducible machine learning approach.

Introduction

Previous reports in European populations demonstrated the existence of five data-driven adult-onset diabetes subgroups. Here, we use self-normalizing neural networks (SNNN) to improve reproducibility of these data-driven diabetes subgroups in Mexican cohorts to extend its applic...

UnknownLp(a) Testing in Latin America: Low Awareness and Clinicalpractice Among Medical Society Physicians Highlight a Missed Opportunity in Cardiovascular Prevention.

Background and aims

In Latin America (LATAM), the level of awareness and clinical implementation of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) testing among physicians remain largely unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, frequency of use, and clinical management practices related to Lp(a) among L...

UnknownProcalcitonin and C-reactive protein to rule out early bacterial coinfection in COVID-19 critically ill patients.

Purpose

Although the prevalence of community-acquired respiratory bacterial coinfection upon hospital admission in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been reported to be < 5%, almost three-quarters of patients received antibiotics. We aim to investigate whether procalciton...

UnknownType 2 Diabetes Variants Disrupt Function of SLC16A11 through Two Distinct Mechanisms.
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects Latinos at twice the rate seen in populations of European descent. We recently identified a risk haplotype spanning SLC16A11 that explains ∼20% of the increased T2D prevalence in Mexico. Here, through genetic fine-mapping, we define a set of tightly linked variants like...

UnknownThe Effect of Incidental Consolidation on Management and Outcomes in COPD Exacerbations: Data from the European COPD Audit.

Objective

There is controversy regarding the significance of radiological consolidation in the context of COPD exacerbation (eCOPD). While some studies into eCOPD exclude these cases, consolidation is a common feature of eCOPD admissions in real practice. This study aims to address the quest...

UnknownEpidemiology, ventilation management and outcomes of COVID-19 ARDS patients versus patients with ARDS due to pneumonia in the Pre-COVID era.

Background

Ventilation management may differ between COVID-19 ARDS (COVID-ARDS) patients and patients with pre-COVID ARDS (CLASSIC-ARDS); it is uncertain whether associations of ventilation management with outcomes for CLASSIC-ARDS also exist in COVID-ARDS.

Methods

Individual patient ...

UnknownAssociations 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 reproduction between close relatives is both rare and frequently associated with confoundi...

UnknownA saturated map of common genetic variants associated with human height.
Common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are predicted to collectively explain 40-50% of phenotypic variation in human height, but identifying the specific variants and associated regions requires huge sample sizes1. Here, using data from a genome-wide association study of 5.4 millio...
