    Association of Genetically Predicted Lipid Levels With the Extent of Coronary Atherosclerosis in Icelandic Adults 
    Björnsson, Eyþór; Þorleifsson, Guðmar; Helgadóttir, Anna; Gudnason, Thorarinn; Gudbjartsson, Tomas; Andersen, Karl; Grétarsdóttir, Sólveig; Ólafsson, Ísleifur; Tragante, Vinicius; Ólafsson, Ólafur Hreiðar; Jónsdóttir, Birna; Eyjólfsson, Guðmundur I.; Sigurðardóttir, Ólöf; Thorgeirsson, Gudmundur; Gudbjartsson, Daniel; Thorsteinsdottir, Unnur; Holm, Hilma; Stefansson, Kari (American Medical Association (AMA), 2020-01-01)
    Importance: Genetic studies have evaluated the influence of blood lipid levels on the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), but less is known about how they are associated with the extent of coronary atherosclerosis. Objective: To estimate the ...

    Helgadottir, Anna; Thorleifsson, Gudmar; Alexandersson, Kristjan F; Tragante, Vinicius; Þorsteinsdóttir, Margrét; Eiriksson, Finnur Freyr; Grétarsdóttir, Sólveig; Björnsson, Eyþór; Magnússon, Ólafur; Sveinbjornsson, Gardar; Jonsdottir, Ingileif; Steinthorsdottir, Valgerdur; Ferkingstad, Egil; Jensson, Brynjar Ö; Stefansson, Hreinn; Olafsson, Isleifur; Christensen, Alex H; Torp-Pedersen, Christian; Køber, Lars; Pedersen, Ole B; Erikstrup, Christian; Sørensen, Erik; Brunak, Søren; Banasik, Karina; Hansen, Thomas F; Nyegaard, Mette; Eyjólfsson, Guðmundur I.; Sigurdardottir, Olof; Þórarinsson, Björn L; Matthíasson, Stefán E.; Steingrimsdottir, Thora; Björnsson, Einar Stefán; Danielsen, Ragnar; Asselbergs, Folkert W.; Arnar, David O; Ullum, Henrik; Bundgaard, Henning; sulem, patrick; Thorsteinsdottir, Unnur; Thorgeirsson, Gudmundur; Holm, Hilma; Gudbjartsson, Daniel; Stefansson, Kari (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-07-21)
    Aims: To explore whether variability in dietary cholesterol and phytosterol absorption impacts the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) using as instruments sequence variants in the ABCG5/8 genes, key regulators of intestinal absorption of dietary ...

    Multi-ancestry study of blood lipid levels identifies four loci interacting with physical activity 
    Kilpeläinen, Tuomas O.; Gudnason, Vilmundur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-01-22)
    Many genetic loci affect circulating lipid levels, but it remains unknown whether lifestyle factors, such as physical activity, modify these genetic effects. To identify lipid loci interacting with physical activity, we performed genome-wide analyses ...

    NBEAL1 controls SREBP2 processing and cholesterol metabolism and is a susceptibility locus for coronary artery disease 
    Bindesbøll, Christian; Aas, Aleksander; Ogmundsdottir, Margret H; Pankiv, Serhiy; Reine, Trine; Zoncu, Roberto; Simonsen, Anne (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-03-11)
    Dysregulated cholesterol homeostasis promotes the pathology of atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction and strokes. Cellular cholesterol is mainly regulated at the transcriptional level by SREBP2, but also through uptake of extracellular cholesterol ...

    Rare SCARB1 mutations associate with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol but not with coronary artery disease 
    Helgadottir, Anna; sulem, patrick; Thorgeirsson, Gudmundur; Grétarsdóttir, Sólveig; Thorleifsson, Gudmar; Jensson, Brynjar Örn; Arnadottir, Gudny; Olafsson, Isleifur; Eyjólfsson, Guðmundur I.; Sigurdardottir, Olof; Thorsteinsdottir, Unnur; Gudbjartsson, Daniel; Holm, Hilma; Stefansson, Kari (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018-03-27)
    Aims Scavenger receptor Class B Type 1 (SR-BI) is a major receptor for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) that promotes hepatic uptake of cholesterol from HDL. A rare mutation p.P376L, in the gene encoding SR-BI, SCARB1, was recently reported to associate ...

    Repositioning of the global epicentre of non-optimal cholesterol 
    Aspelund, Thor; Gudnason, Vilmundur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-06-03)
    High blood cholesterol is typically considered a feature of wealthy western countries1,2. However, dietary and behavioural determinants of blood cholesterol are changing rapidly throughout the world3 and countries are using lipid-lowering medications ...
