(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-12)Carotid artery intima media thickness (cIMT) and carotid plaque are measures of subclinical atherosclerosis associated with ischemic stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD). Here, we undertake meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in ... -
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-11-07)Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is categorized by alteration of vital pathways such as β-catenin (CTNNB1) mutations, WNT signaling activation, tumor protein 53 (TP53) inactivation, BRAF, Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) inactivation, KRAS, dysregulation ...

(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2020-02-01)Rafeindasegullitrófsgreiningu (e. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, EPR) er reglubundið beitt í rannsóknum á byggingu og hreyfingu kjarnsýra til að fá upplýsingar um starfsemi þeirra og hlutverk. Innleiðing meðseglandi kjarna á ákveðinn stað í kjarnsýrum ...

(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-01-31)The MITF transcription factor is a master regulator of melanocyte development and a critical factor in melanomagenesis. The related transcription factors TFEB and TFE3 regulate lysosomal activity and autophagy processes known to be important in ...

Sequence variation at ANAPC1 accounts for 24% of the variability in corneal endothelial cell density (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-03-20)The corneal endothelium is vital for transparency and proper hydration of the cornea. Here, we conduct a genome-wide association study of corneal endothelial cell density (cells/mm2), coefficient of cell size variation (CV), percentage of hexagonal ...
-
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-04-16)Nerve conduction (NC) studies generate measures of peripheral nerve function that can reveal underlying pathology due to axonal loss, demyelination or both. We perform a genome-wide association study of sural NC amplitude and velocity in 7045 Icelanders ...

Rapid CO2 mineralisation into calcite at the CarbFix storage site quantified using calcium isotopes (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-04-30)The engineered removal of atmospheric CO 2 is now considered a key component of mitigating climate warming below 1.5 °C. Mineral carbonation is a potential negative emissions technique that, in the case of Iceland’s CarbFix experiment, precipitates ...

(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-05-01)Sediment cores from Kløverbladvatna, a threshold lake in Wahlenbergfjorden, Nordaustlandet, Svalbard were used to reconstruct Holocene glacier fluctuations. Meltwater from Etonbreen spills over a threshold to the lake, only when the glacier is significantly ...

(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-05-27)Predation and mortality are often difcult to estimate in the ocean, which hampers the management and conservation of marine fshes. We used data from pop-up satellite archival tags to investigate the ocean predation and mortality of adult Atlantic ...
-
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-06-11)We demonstrate that chirality of the electron scattering in Weyl semimetals leads to the formation of magnetic chemical bonds for molecular states of a pair of impurities. The efect is associated with the presence of time-reversal symmetry breaking ...
-
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-07-11)Mechanisms underlying fat accumulation for long-distance migration are not fully understood. This is especially relevant in the context of global change, as many migrants are dealing with changes in natural habitats and associated food sources and ...
-
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-08-14)Human longevity is heritable, but genome-wide association (GWA) studies have had limited success. Here, we perform two meta-analyses of GWA studies of a rigorous longevity phenotype definition including 11,262/3484 cases surviving at or beyond the age ...

A genome-wide association study identifies genetic loci associated with specific lobar brain volumes (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-08-02)Brain lobar volumes are heritable but genetic studies are limited. We performed genome-wide association studies of frontal, occipital, parietal and temporal lobe volumes in 16,016 individuals, and replicated our findings in 8,789 individuals. We ...
