Abstract

In the last half century, phenomenal advances have been made in understanding the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease and in developing therapies to reduce cardiovascular risk. Nevertheless, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death and morbidity in the industrialized world, with rapidly rising prevalence in developing countries, accounting for approximately 30% of all deaths worldwide. Since the initial availability of statin drugs in 1987, few novel cardiovascular therapies have emerged. Whereas statins reduce the mortality and morbidity from atherosclerotic heart disease by approximately 30%, the staggering 70% residual cardiovascular risk underscores the persistent need for novel therapies. Substantial advances in genomic research offer promise to greatly facilitate cardiovascular drug development. Over the past decade, often termed "the genomics revolution," such advancements as the emergence of genome-wide genotyping in humans, the industrialization of messenger ribonucleic acid expression profiling, and the maturation of proteomic and metabolomic methodologies have been made. In addition, the advancement of informatics to allow the intersection of multiple complex datasets has led to the field of systems biology. Genomic approaches are already being utilized to drive novel compound pipelines by helping with the identification and validation of novel targets. In the future, the study of genomics is expected to support biomarker discovery and development and the identification of responder patient segments. The focus of the present review is the application of genomics to the development of novel atherosclerosis therapies.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Cis-pQTLs are generally preferable for use as instruments in drug-target MR as compared to cis-eQTLs because the potential for pretranslational pleiotropy is potentially diminished when selecting variants based on their properties as cis-pQTLs versus cis-eQTLs.

    “Cis variants for proteins (cis-protein quantitative trat loci; cis-pQTL) are generally preferable for use as instruments in drug-target MR as compared to cis variants for mRNA expression (cis-expression quantitative loci; cis-eQTL) as the potential for pretranslational pleiotropy 32 (i.e. horizontal pleiotropy that arises prior to translation of mRNA into proteins) is potentially diminished when”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
