Role of ARMS2/HTRA1 risk alleles in the pathogenesis of neovascular age-related macular degeneration by Yang Pan, Takeshi Iwata

“…AMD is a multifactorial disease mainly caused by advanced age, environmental factors, and genetic variations. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have strongly supported the link between ARMS2/HTRA1 locus on chromosome 10q26 and AMD development, encompassing multiple variants, rs10490924 (c.205G > T, p.A69S in ARMS2), insertion/deletion (del443/ins54 in ARMS2), and rs11200638 (in HTRA1 promoter region). …”

Cardiovascular Disease, Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms; and the Renin Angiotensin System: Is There a MicroRNA Connection? by Terry S. Elton, Sarah E. Sansom, Mickey M. Martin

“…Essential hypertension is a complex disorder, caused by the interplay between many genetic variants, gene-gene interactions, and environmental factors. Given that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in blood pressure (BP) control, cardiovascular regulation, and cardiovascular remodeling, special attention has been devoted to the investigation of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) harbored in RAS genes that may be associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease. …”

Uncertainty-Aware Sensor Deployment Strategy in Mixed Wireless Sensor Networks by Yan Chang, Shukui Zhang, Yang Zhang, Jianxi Fan, Jin Wang

“…Usually the sensor locations are precomputed based on “perfect” sensor detection model, whereas sensors may not always provide reliable information, either due to operational tolerance levels or environmental factors. Therefore, it is very important to take into account this uncertainty in the deployment process. …”
