Aim: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major health problem in developed and developing nations. Development of CAD involves a complex interaction between genetics and lifestyle factors. Individuals with high-risk genetic predisposition along with poor lifestyle are more inclined to the development of CAD. Advancement in genotyping technologies and increase in genome wide studies has provided a platform to identify new risk factors associated with CAD and associated complexities.
Methodology: In this study we performed genome wide screening in 76 well-defined CAD cases and 77 control samples in Indian population. Interestingly, new variants are identified in three genes , VLDLR, IFITM2 and C2CD4C.
Results: The odds ratios observed for variant rs1869592 (), rs1059091 () and rs7247159 () were 2.6 (1.4-4.8 95% CI), 1.9 (95% CI 1.2-3.1) and 2.1 (1.2-3.7 95% CI), respectively with significant value <0.01. These variants that are associated with pathogenesis of CAD were not previously reported in literature. Moreover, we anticipate that these variants will be further validated using a larger sample size.

Background: Congenital anomalies (CAs) encompass a wide spectrum of structural and functional abnormalities during fetal development, commonly presenting at birth. Identifying the cause of CA is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Using a target-gene approach, genetic variants could be found in certain CA patients.

Background: The success of selecting high risk or early-stage Alzheimer's disease individuals for the delivery of clinical trials depends on the design and the appropriate recruitment of participants. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) show potential for identifying individuals at risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our study comprehensively examines AD PRS utility using various methods and models.

Background: Cancer-targeted therapies are progressively pivotal in oncological care. Observational studies underscore the emergence of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT), impacting patient outcomes. We aimed to investigate the causal relationship between different types of cancer-targeted therapies and cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes through a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study.

Background: Improving the germination performance of bread wheat is an important breeding target in many wheat-growing countries where seedlings are often established in soils with high salinity levels. This study sought to characterize the molecular mechanisms underlying germination performance in salt-stressed wheat. To achieve this goal, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed on 292 Iranian bread wheat accessions, including 202 landraces and 90 cultivars.
