Genetics of osteopontin in patients with chronic kidney disease: The German chronic kidney disease study
<p><br></p><p>Osteopontin (OPN), encoded by SPP1, is a phosphorylated glycoprotein predominantly synthesized in kidney tissue. Increased OPN mRNA and protein expression correlates with proteinuria, reduced creatinine ...
Methylation status of nc886 epiallele reflects periconceptional conditions and is associated with glucose metabolism through nc886 RNAs
<p>Background</p><p>Non-coding RNA 886 (nc886) is coded from a maternally inherited metastable epiallele. We set out to investigate the determinants and dynamics of the methylation pattern at the nc886 epiallele and how ...
Metabolic profiles of socio-economic position: a multi-cohort analysis
<div><p><strong>Background: </strong>Low socio-economic position (SEP) is a risk factor for multiple health outcomes, but its molecular imprints in the body remain unclear.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We examined SEP ...
Reproductive history and blood cell DNA methylation later in life: the Young Finns Study
<div><p><strong>Background: </strong> Women with a history of complications of pregnancy, including hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes or an infant fetal growth restriction or preterm birth, are at higher risk ...

Birth weight, adult weight, and cardiovascular biomarkers: Evidence from the Cardiovascular Young Finns Study
This study quantifies the causal effect of birth weight on cardiovascular biomarkers in adulthood using the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study (YFS). We apply a multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR) method ...
Associations of Serum Fatty Acid Proportions with Obesity, Insulin Resistance, Blood Pressure, and Fatty Liver: The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study
<p><strong>Background: </strong>The links between fatty acids (FAs) and cardiometabolic outcomes are topics of debate.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>Our aim was to investigate the associations between serum standardized ...
Meta-analyses identify DNA methylation associated with kidney function and damage
<p>Chronic kidney disease is a major public health burden. Elevated urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio is a measure of kidney damage, and used to diagnose and stage chronic kidney disease. To extend the knowledge on ...
Risk Factor Profile in Youth, Genetic Risk, and Adulthood Cognitive Function: The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study
<p>INTRODUCTION</p><p>The role of risk factor profile in childhood and adolescence on adulthood cognitive function and whether it differs by genetic risk is still obscure. To bring this evidence, we determined cognitive ...
