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 ]]> A meta-analysis of 120 246 individuals identifies 18 new loci for fibrinogen concentration https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:23033 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:48 AEDT ]]>
