Journal Article
Wong, C., Kwok, C., Narain, A., Gulati, M., Mihalidou, A., Wu, P., …Mamas, M. (2018). Marital status and risk of cardiovascular diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Heart, 1937-1948. https://doi.org/10.1136/heartjnl-2018-313005

Background The influence of marital status on the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and prognosis after CVD is inconclusive. We systematically reviewed the literature to determine how marital status influences CVD and prognosis after CVD....

Elovl6 is a negative clinical predictor for liver cancer and knockdown of Elovl6 reduces murine liver cancer progression (2018)
Journal Article
Wu. (2018). Elovl6 is a negative clinical predictor for liver cancer and knockdown of Elovl6 reduces murine liver cancer progression. Scientific reports, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-24633-3

The elongation of long-chain fatty acids family member 6 (Elovl6) is a key enzyme in lipogenesis that catalyzes the elongation of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Insulin resistance involves upregulation of Elovl6, which has been linked to...

Maternal genome-wide DNA methylation profiling in gestational diabetes shows distinctive disease-associated changes relative to matched healthy pregnancies (2018)
Journal Article
Wu, P., Farrell, W., Haworth, K., Emes, R., Kitchen, M., Glossop, J., …Fryer, A. (2018). Maternal genome-wide DNA methylation profiling in gestational diabetes shows distinctive disease-associated changes relative to matched healthy pregnancies. Epigenetics, 122-128. https://doi.org/10.1080/15592294.2016.1166321

Several recent reports have described associations between gestational diabetes (GDM) and changes to the epigenomic landscape where the DNA samples were derived from either cord or placental sources. We employed genome-wide 450K array analysis to det...
