Admixture mapping of coronary artery calcified plaque in African Americans with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
BACKGROUND The presence and severity of coronary artery calcified plaque (CAC) differs markedly between individuals of African and European descent, suggesting that admixture mapping may be informative for identifying genetic variants associated with subclinical cardiovascular disease. METHODS AND RESULTS Admixture mapping of CAC was performed in 1040 unrelated African Americans with type 2 d...
متن کاملEthnic Differences in the Relationship Between Albuminuria and Calcified Atherosclerotic Plaque
OBJECTIVE Despite higher rates of nephropathy, calcified atherosclerotic plaque is less prevalent in African Americans with diabetes relative to European Americans. We explored ethnicity-specific relationships between albuminuria and calcified plaque involving the infrarenal aorta, coronary artery, and carotid artery in 835 European American and 393 African American subjects with type 2 diabete...
متن کاملAPOL1 associations with nephropathy, atherosclerosis, and all-cause mortality in African Americans with type 2 diabetes
Albuminuria and reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) associate with two apolipoprotein L1 gene (APOL1) variants in nondiabetic African Americans (AAs). Whether APOL1 associates with subclinical atherosclerosis and survival remains unclear. To determine this, 717 African American-Diabetes Heart Study participants underwent computed tomography to determine coronary artery-, carotid...
متن کاملSubclinical Atherosclerosis Is Inversely Associated With Gray Matter Volume in African Americans With Type 2 Diabetes
OBJECTIVE Relative to European Americans, African Americans manifest lower levels of computed tomography-based calcified atherosclerotic plaque (CP), a measure of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD). Potential relationships between CP and cerebral structure are poorly defined in the African American population. We assessed associations among glycemic control, inflammation, and CP with cere...
متن کاملVitamin d, adiposity, and calcified atherosclerotic plaque in african-americans.
CONTEXT Inverse associations are reported between circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D and visceral adiposity. The effects of vitamin D levels on atherosclerosis are unknown. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to test for relationships between vitamin D, adiposity, bone density, and atherosclerosis in African-Americans. DESIGN Circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D, inta...
