Genetic variants in genes involved in transcription, cell signaling, and the immune system are associated with the risk of colorectal cancer.
Reports
Alzheimer’s Disease (Wang, 2019) – More Alzheimer’s genetics
This genome-wide association study found that genetic variants in the CD1A gene are associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
Reports
Peripheral Artery Disease (Klarin, 2019)
The risk of peripheral artery disease, which is narrowing of the arteries, is increased by genetic variants associated with LDL cholesterol levels.
Reports
Risky Behavior (Linnér, 2019)
This study identified new genetic variants associated with risky behavior in genes, most of which are highly expressed in the brain.
Reports
Venous Thromboembolism (Lindstrom, 2019)
Identification of novel genetic variants associated with blood traits and venous thromboembolism, or blood clot formation, risk.
Reports
Alcohol Consumption (Evangelou, 2019) – More alcoholism genetics
Is alcohol consumption genetic? Discovery of 46 new loci associated with excessive alcohol consumption and links to neuropsychiatric disorders.
Reports
Menopause (Stolk, 2012)
Menopause, which is the end of the reproductive function, may be influenced by genetic variants linked to DNA repair and mitochondrial dysfunction.
Reports
Migraine (Freilinger, 2012) – Are Migraines Without Aura Genetic?
Are migraines without aura genetic? Migraines may be influenced by genetic variants that affect neuronal signaling, migration, and growth.
Reports
Melanoma – More melanoma genetics
Is melanoma genetic? Susceptibility to this skin cancer is associated with genetic variants in the DNA-damage ATM and CASP8 genes.
Reports
Blood Pressure – More high blood pressure genetics
Is high blood pressure genetic? This study links several cell signaling pathways to the risk of developing hypertension.
Reports

Alzheimer’s Disease (Seshadri, 2010) – Even more Alzheimer’s genetics
Identification of novel variants associated with Alzheimer's disease, a progressive brain disorder that slowly decreases memory and cognitive skills.
Reports
Restless Leg Syndrome – More RLS Genetics
Is restless leg syndrome genetic? This causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs, is associated with variants near the MEIS1 gene and in the TOX3 gene.
Reports
Ulcerative Colitis (UK IBD Genetics Consortium, 2009) – More Ulcerative Colitis Genetics
Is ulcerative colitis genetic? This occurs when the lining of the colon becomes inflamed. Risk may be influenced by variants involved in cell adhesion.
Reports
Chronic Kidney Disease (Chambers, 2010) – More Chronic Kidney Disease Genetics
Is chronic kidney disease genetic? CKD is linked to variants that influence serum creatinine and cystatin C - two kidney function biomarkers
Reports
PTSD (Logue, 2014) – Other PTSD Genetics
Is PTSD genetic? PTSD is defined by disturbances in cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning that occurs in response to a traumatic event.
Reports
Coronary Artery Disease – Is Coronary Artery Disease Genetic?
Is coronary artery disease genetic? This study found several genetic variants by including a more ethnically diverse population than previous studies.
Reports
Cannabis Use Disorder (Demontis, 2019)
About 1 in 10 users of cannabis become dependent on it and develop cannabis use disorder. It may be linked to a genetic variant in the CHRNA2 gene.
Reports
Asthma (Ferreira, 2019) – More asthma genetics
Is asthma genetic? Asthma is a condition in which it is difficult to breathe. The same genetic variants are associated with hay fever and asthma.
