Study Identifies New Genetic Pathways Driving Cardiometabolic Disease Risk

Study identifies new genetic pathways driving cardiometabolic disease risk

A study published today in PLOS Medicine has identified two new genetic pathways that contribute to cardiometabolic disease, which includes heart disease, obesity and diabetes.

Genetic clues in 3,000 Indians reveal new lipid routes to cardiometabolic disease

A study conducted in an Indian population has identified new molecular pathways that contribute to cardiovascular disease, which had not been reported previously in studies of Europeans. Dharambir Sanghera of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, U.S., led the new study, which was published in the open access journal PLOS Medicine.

Genetic Study in Indian Population Uncovers Novel Pathways Linked to

A groundbreaking genetic investigation into the unique molecular mechanisms underlying cardiometabolic diseases in South Asian populations has unveiled previously unrecognized pathways that differentiate them from European cohorts. Led by Dharambir Sanghera at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, this study harnessed the power of large-scale genomic and lipidomics data to dissect the complex interactions […]

New Markers of Diabetes and Heart Disease Revealed via Genetic Study in Indians

A study in 3,000 Punjabi Sikhs has identified previously unreported molecular pathways that contribute to cardiometabolic disease. Published today in PLOS Medicine, these findings highlight the benefits of including diverse participants in these types of studies, which have historically centered on individuals of European ancestry.  “Genetic mechanisms that predispose people to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease remain poorly understood,…
