      Most sequence variants identified hitherto in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of atrial fibrillation are common, non-coding variants associated with risk through unknown mechanisms. We performed a meta-analysis of GWAS of atrial fibrillation among 29,502 cases and 767,760 controls from Iceland and the UK Biobank with follow-up in samples from Norway and the US, focusing on low-frequency coding ...

      Objective: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a congenital condition affecting 2-3% of all infants. DDH increases the risk of osteoarthritis, is the cause of 30% of all total hip arthroplasties (THAs) in adults <40 years of age and can result in loss of life quality. Our aim was to explore the genetic background of DDH in order to improve diagnosis, management and longterm outcome.<p><p> ...

      Background - The role of combined prothrombotic genotypes in cancer‐related venous thromboembolism (VTE) is scarcely studied. We aimed to investigate the impact of a 5‐single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) score on the risk of VTE in patients with and without cancer using a population‐based case‐cohort.<p> <p>Methods - Cases with a first VTE (n = 1493) and a subcohort (n = 13 072) were derived ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022)
      <p><i>Background:</i> Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a life-threatening vascular event with environmental and genetic determinants. Recent VTE genome-wide association studies (GWAS) meta-analyses involved nearly 30 000 VTE cases and identified up to 40 genetic loci associated with VTE risk, including loci not previously suspected to play a role in hemostasis. The aim of our research was to expand ...

      Migraine is three times more prevalent in people with bipolar disorder or depression. The relationship between schizophrenia and migraine is less certain although glutamatergic and serotonergic neurotransmission are implicated in both. A shared genetic basis to migraine and mental disorders has been suggested but previous studies have reported weak or non-significant genetic correlations and five ...
    • Fibrinogen gamma gene rs2066865 and risk of cancer-related venous thromboembolism 

      Paulsen, Benedikte; Skille, Hanne; Smith, Erin N.; Hveem, Kristian; Gabrielsen, Maiken Elvestad; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Rosendaal, Frits Richard; Frazer, Kelly A.; Gran, Olga Vikhammer; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-03)
      Venous thromboembolism is a frequent complication in patients with cancer. Homozygous carriers of the fibrinogen gamma gene (FGG) rs2066865 have a moderately increased risk of venous thromboembolism, but the effect of the FGG variant in cancer is unknown. We aimed to investigate the effect of the FGG variant and active cancer on the risk of venous thromboembolism. Cases with incident venous ...

      Complex trait genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide an efficient strategy for evaluating large numbers of common variants in large numbers of individuals and for identifying trait-associated variants. Nevertheless, GWAS often leave much of the trait heritability unexplained. We hypothesized that some of this unexplained heritability might be due to common and rare variants that reside in ...

      Measurements of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) protein levels form the basis for a widely used test to screen men for prostate cancer. Germline variants in the gene that encodes the PSA protein (KLK3) have been shown to be associated with both serum PSA levels and prostate cancer. Based on a resequencing analysis of a 56 kb region on chromosome 19q13.33, centered on the KLK3 gene, we fine ...
    • Genetic Variation Of Platelet Glycoprotein VI And The Risk Of Venous Thromboembolism 

      Skille, Hanne; Paulsen, Benedikte; Hveem, Kristian; Gabrielsen, Maiken Elvestad; Brumpton, Ben Michael; Hindberg, Kristian; Gran, Olga Vikhammer; Rosendaal, Frits Richard; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-07)
      Family studies have indicated that heritability explains 50-60% of the venous thromboembolism (VTE) events, and in recent years, several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been found to influence the VTE risk. Glycoprotein 6 (GP6) rs1613662, also known as T13254C, is an A/G single nucleotide variation in amino acid 219, which results in a serine to proline substitution affecting ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-19)
      Introduction - In observational studies, venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been associated with Cushing’s syndrome and with persistent mental stress, two conditions associated with higher cortisol levels. However, it remains unknown whether high cortisol levels within the usual range are causally associated with VTE risk. We aimed to assess the association between plasma cortisol levels and VTE risk ...

      Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified six risk loci for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We conducted a meta-analysis of two new scans of 5,198 cases and 7,331 controls together with four existing scans, totalling 10,784 cases and 20,406 controls of European ancestry. Twenty-four loci were tested in an additional 3,182 cases and 6,301 controls. We confirm the six known RCC risk ...

      Infant and childhood growth are dynamic processes with large changes in BMI during development. By performing genome-wide association studies of BMI at 12 time points from birth to eight years (9286 children, 74,105 measurements) in the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study, replicated in 5235 children, we identify a transient effect in the leptin receptor (<i>LEPR</i>) locus: no effect ...

      Background: We sought to develop a proteomics-based risk model for lung cancer and evaluate its risk-discriminatory performance in comparison with a smoking-based risk model (PLCOm2012) and a commercially available autoantibody biomarker test.<p><p>Methods: We designed a case-control study nested in 6 prospective cohorts, including 624 lung cancer participants who donated blood samples at most 3 ...

      <p><i>Background</i>: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death. Little is known about whether prediagnostic nutritional factors may affect survival. We examined the associations of prediagnostic calcium intake from foods and/or supplements with lung cancer survival.</p> <p><i>Methods</i>: The present analysis included 23,882 incident, primary lung cancer patients from 12 prospective cohort ...
