Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This study correlated eight SNPs with the risk factors of CVD in a black elderly population. Genotyping was used to detect eight polymorphisms; rs675 (ApoA-IV), rs699 (Angiotensinogen (AGT)), rs247616 and rs1968905 (Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP)), rs1801278 (Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1)), rs1805087 (Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)) and rs28362286 and rs67608943 (Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9)), as well as their genotypes in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracted from peripheral blood.

Article Synopsis
- - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) significantly impacts the quality of life for many Filipinos, with genetic factors contributing to 30-70% of the disease risk.
- - This study examined the genetic variants linked to T2DM among Filipinos by comparing 66 individuals with diabetes to 121 without, identifying nine significant genetic variants tied to glucose and energy metabolism.
- - Key variants, particularly CDKAL1 (rs7766070), show the highest risk levels, suggesting their potential use as markers for early detection and prevention of T2DM in the Filipino population.
Associations Between Gene Variants of Lipid-Lowering Drug Targets and Adverse Outcomes After Ischemic Stroke.
J Am Heart Assoc
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how genetic variations in lipid-lowering drug targets relate to the prognosis of ischemic stroke patients, highlighting a previously unclear area.
- It identifies specific gene variants (rs2006760-C, rs11206510-T, rs1864163-G, and rs9929488-G) that are linked to a higher likelihood of death or major disability within two years after a stroke.
- The research concludes that a higher genetic risk score, calculated from these variants, is associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes, making it a potential predictor for stroke prognosis.
Interaction of CETP rs708272 Polymorphism on Trans Fatty Acid Intake and Glucose Metabolism Markers.

Dietary fats influence gene expression and several metabolic pathways. Therefore, it is crucial to study the role of personal genotypes in the interaction between fat consumption and cardiometabolic markers. This research aimed to determine the interaction of the rs708272 polymorphism of and the fatty acid intake with changes in the HOMA-IR in adults living with overweight or obesity.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to find genetic factors that contribute to myopic macular neovascularization (mMNV) in people with severe myopia through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis.
- Researchers analyzed data from 2,783 highly myopic individuals, including 608 with mMNV and 2,175 controls, using advanced genetic analysis techniques.
- The study discovered a new genetic variant, rs56257842, associated with a lower risk of mMNV, and found that certain transcription factors interacted differently with this variant, suggesting it plays a significant role in the disease's development.
