Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, with coronary artery disease (CAD) being one of its main manifestations. Both environmental and genetic factors are widely known to be related to CAD, such as smoking, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and a family history of CAD. However, there is still a lack of information about other risk factors, especially those related to genetic mutations. Sex represents a classic CAD risk factor, as men are more likely to suffer CAD, but there is lack of evidence with regard to sex-specific genetic factors. We evaluated the Y chromosome haplogroups in a cohort of young Spanish male patients who suffered from STEMI. In this cohort, haplogroup R was significantly more frequent in STEMI patients.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) burden is currently evolving with regional differences associated with complex behavioural, environmental, and genetic risk factors. The LEGACy study is a Horizon 2020-funded multi-institutional research project conducted prospectively to provide comprehensive data on the tumour biological characteristics of gastroesophageal cancer from European and LATAM countries.
Material And Methods: Treatment-naïve advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma patients were prospectively recruited in seven European and LATAM countries.
Lipids, lipid-lowering drugs and the risk of herpes zoster: a Mendelian randomization study.

Observational studies have shown that the risk of developing herpes zoster (HZ) increases with the use of statins. However, there are many confounding factors in observational studies. Therefore, our Mendelian randomization (MR) study aimed to explore the causal role of lipids in HZ and to assess the causal impact of lipid-lowering drug targets on HZ risk.

Asthma is a complex disease with varied clinical manifestations resulting from the interaction between environmental and genetic factors. While chronic airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness are central features, the etiology of asthma is multifaceted, leading to a diversity of phenotypes and endotypes. Although most research into the genetics of asthma focused on the analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), studies highlight the importance of structural variations, such as copy number variations (CNVs), in the inheritance of complex characteristics, but their role has not yet been fully elucidated in asthma.

Purpose: This study investigated elite German athletes to (1) assess their serum 25(OH)D levels and the prevalence of insufficiency, (2) identify key factors influencing serum 25(OH)D levels, and (3) analyze the association between serum 25(OH)D levels and handgrip strength.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 474 athletes (231 female), aged 13-39 years (mean 19.3 years), from ten Olympic disciplines were included.
Causal relationship between psoriasis and sudden deafness: a Mendelian randomization study.
Arch Dermatol Res

Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin, 300102, China.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the genetic link between psoriasis and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL).
Methods: From a genetic standpoint, this study further highlighted the connection between psoriasis and SSNHL. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) connected to SSNHL could be found using a genome-wide association study from the IEU OpenGWAS project website.
