Genetic regulation of metabolomic biomarkers – paths to cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes

Public release date: 29-Jan-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Dr. Samuli Ripatti samuli.ripatti@fimm.fi 358-206-108-159 University of Helsinki In a study to the genetic variance of human metabolism, researchers have identified thirty one regions of the genome that were associated with levels of circulating metabolites, i.e., small molecules that take part in various chemical reactions of human body. Many of the studied metabolites are biomarkers for cardiovascular disease or related disorders, thus the loci uncovered may provide valuable insight into the biological processes leading to common diseases Continue reading
