Background: Genome-wide association studies have so far identified 56 loci associated with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Many CAD loci show pleiotropy; that is, they are also associated with other diseases or traits. Objectives: This study sought to systematically test if genetic variants identified for non-CAD diseases/traits also associate with CAD and to undertake a comprehensive analysis of the extent of pleiotropy of all CAD loci. Methods: In discovery analyses involving 42,335 CAD...

Height is a highly heritable, classic polygenic trait with approximately 700 common associated variants identified through genome-wide association studies so far. Here, we report 83 height-associated coding variants with lower minor-allele frequencies (in the range of 0.1-4.8%) and effects of up to 2 centimetres per allele (such as those in IHH, STC2, AR and CRISPLD2), greater than ten times the average effect of common variants. In functional follow-up studies, rare height-increasing alleles of...

Advanced imaging in valvular heart disease.
Bax JJ, Delgado V
Although echocardiography remains the mainstay imaging technique for the evaluation of patients with valvular heart disease (VHD), innovations in noninvasive imaging in the past few years have provided new insights into the pathophysiology and quantification of VHD, early detection of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, and advanced prognostic assessment. The severity grading of valve dysfunction has been refined with the use of Doppler echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), and CT i...

A Systemic-Onset Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Patient with Reduced Anakinra Treatment Admitted with an Attack.
Yilmaz D, Akcan M, Terlemez S, Sonmez F, Akcan AB
Interleukin-1 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SoJIA), and the use of anti-interleukin-1 therapy has been increasing. We report a case of a 14-year-old male patient with SoJIA. He was in remission with anakinra treatment for almost 2 years. When we extended the therapeutic range and decreased the dose (1 mg/kg twice a week), he developed symptoms mimicking pulmonary embolism and cardiac ischemia. Increased cardiac enzyme levels and echo...

An increasing number of genome-wide association (GWA) studies are now using the higher resolution 1000 Genomes Project reference panel (1000G) for imputation, with the expectation that 1000G imputation will lead to the discovery of additional associated loci when compared to HapMap imputation. In order to assess the improvement of 1000G over HapMap imputation in identifying associated loci, we compared the results of GWA studies of circulating fibrinogen based on the two reference panels. Using...

The hippocampal formation is a brain structure integrally involved in episodic memory, spatial navigation, cognition and stress responsiveness. Structural abnormalities in hippocampal volume and shape are found in several common neuropsychiatric disorders. To identify the genetic underpinnings of hippocampal structure here we perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 33,536 individuals and discover six independent loci significantly associated with hippocampal volume, four of them novel....

Right vEntricular Dysfunction in tEtralogy of Fallot: INhibition of the rEnin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (REDEFINE) trial: Rationale and design of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
Bokma JP, Winter MM, Kornaat EM, Vliegen HW, van Dijk AP, van Melle JP, Meijboom FJ, Post MC, Berbee JK, Zwinderman AH, Mulder BJM, Bouma BJ
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibition with angiotensin II receptor blockers or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors is beneficial in patients with acquired left ventricular dysfunction. Adult patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are at high risk for heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. However, the efficacy of RAAS inhibition has not been established in these patients. Methods: The REDEFINE is an investigator-initia...

Capturing norovirus transmission.
de Graaf M, Villabruna N, Koopmans MP
Human norovirus is a leading cause of gastroenteritis and is efficiently transmitted between humans and around the globe. The burden of norovirus infections in the global community and in health-care settings warrant the availability of outbreak prevention strategies and control measures that are tailored to the pathogen, outbreak setting and population at risk. A better understanding of viral and host determinants of transmission would aid in developing and fine-tuning such efforts. Here, we de...

[Assessments during Medical Specialists Training: quantity or quality?]
Hamming JF
Structured assessments form a mandatory part of Dutch Medical Specialist Training, but create administrative workload for both the staff and supervisors. One could argue that the quality of the narrative feedback is more important than the extensive reporting in learning portfolios, and that the focus should be on continuous on-the-job coaching.

[How we can learn better and more safely from serious incidents; translation of 'Just Culture' and 'Safety-II' into clinical practice].
de Vos MS, den Dijker L, Hamming JF
After a serious incident, all involved expect it will provide an opportunity to learn and that improvements will follow. However, 'safe' learning is often threatened due to a primary focus on accountability. Focus should, instead, be on the needs of both patients and care providers, with the goal of repairing damage and restoring trust in the wider sense - a culture of justice ('Just Culture'). Common daily practice is a more realistic focus for further investigation, with ac...

[How does a surgeon decide that surgery is the best option?Assessing whether or not to operate].
Hamming JF, Marang-van de Mheen PJ
All abdominal surgical procedures have a certain risk/benefit ratio. Recently, the way surgeons come to a decision whether to operate, or not, was discussed in the Annals of Surgery. First, the assessment of the decision for an operative versus a non-operative strategy was addressed on the basis of clinical vignettes. The perceptions concerning risk/benefit balance varied considerably between surgeons and these perceptions predicted the decision to operate. In a second paper, surgeons were rando...
