A variant in LDLR is associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm.
BACKGROUND Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common cardiovascular disease among older people and demonstrates significant heritability. In contrast to similar complex diseases, relatively few genetic associations with AAA have been confirmed. We reanalyzed our genome-wide study and carried through to replication suggestive discovery associations at a lower level of significance. METHODS A...

متن کاملInfra-renal abdominal aortic calcification volume does not predict small abdominal aortic aneurysm growth.
BACKGROUND Vascular calcification is a common finding in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) however whether it predicts aneurysm expansion is controversial. OBJECTIVES 1) To establish a reproducible method of assessing AAA calcification using computed tomography (CT); 2) To investigate the association between AAA calcification and growth. METHOD Patients were identified from a prospectively m...

suppression of cell mediated immunity. Aflatoxins were detected more commonly in urine from users in The Netherlands than from those in ,Merseyside. Aflatoxin B1, the most toxic aflatoxin, was detected in eight specimens from The Netherlands but only one from Merseyside; the most common aflatoxin detected in the specimens from Merseyside was aflatoxin MI, a less toxic derivative of B1. These va...
