After adjusting for a
number of factors — including age, gender, surgery type, baseline cognition, presence of a vascular comorbidity and the presence of a genetic
variant that has been
associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease — the authors used a three - stage approach to examine the association between inflammatory cytokines and delirium.
After analyzing both scans together for DNA
variants associated with differences between when each patient's movement -
associated symptoms first appeared and when they would have been expected based on the
number of CAG repeats, MGH CHGR investigator and lead author Jong - Min Lee, PhD, identified two locations on chromosome 15 where
variants were significantly
associated with either early or late symptom onset.
The newly identified risk regions nearly double the
number that are already known, thereby bringing the
number of known common
variants associated with breast cancer to around 180.

Results from the analysis confirmed previous findings of some copy
number variants already
associated with autism, but they also found a host of other genes (SHANK2, SYNGAP1, DLGAP2 and the X chromosome — linked DDX53 - PTCHD1 locus) in which mutations seem to be linked to autism.

number of genes
associated with the timing of reproduction, and the genetic
variants associated with spring or autumn spawning were found to be largely shared between geographically distant populations.
Linkage and candidate gene studies have been highly successful in the identification of genes that cause the monogenic
variants of diabetes and, although progress in the more common forms of T2D has been slow, a
number of genes have now been reproducibly
associated with T2D risk in multiple studies.

number of
associated low - frequency and rare
variants that would be uncovered with their study design.
Sequence
variants affecting eosinophil
numbers associate with asthma and myocardial infarction.

number of sun - related mutations
associated with an MC1R
variant is comparable to the
number gained in about 21 additional years of age.
