Genome-wide meta-analysis of 241,258 adults accounting for smoking behaviour identifies novel loci for obesity traits
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Few genome-wide association studies (GWAS) account for environmental exposures, like smoking, potentially impacting the overall trait variance when investigating the genetic contribution to obesity-related traits. Here, ... -
Genome-wide meta-analysis of iron status biomarkers and the effect of iron on all-cause mortality in HUNT
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Iron is essential for many biological processes, but iron levels must be tightly regulated to avoid harmful effects of both iron deficiency and overload. Here, we perform genome-wide association studies on four iron-related ... -
Genome-wide physical activity interactions in adiposity - A meta-analysis of 200,452 adults
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Physical activity (PA) may modify the genetic effects that give rise to increased risk of obesity. To identify adiposity loci whose effects are modified by PA, we performed genome-wide interaction meta-analyses of BMI and ... -
Genome-wide risk prediction of common diseases across ancestries in one million people
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Polygenic risk scores (PRS) measure genetic disease susceptibility by combining risk effects across the genome. For coronary artery disease (CAD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), and breast and prostate cancer, we performed ... -
Genomic alterations in psoriasis and implications for disease burden
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:142, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Introduction: Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease with a substantial genetic etiological component. It is associated with diverse comorbidities, increasing the disease burden. Estimated global prevalence ... -
Geographic and Ethnic Variations in Serum Concentrations of Legacy Persistent Organic Pollutants among Men in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Arctic Russia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The overwhelming majority of Arctic biomonitoring studies in humans include either pregnant or non-pregnant women of reproductive age while little attention is paid to toxic compounds concentrations in men. This study ... -
Geographic and socioeconomic inequities in cesarean delivery rates at the district level in Madhya Pradesh, India: A secondary analysis of the national family health survey-5
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background In India, caesarean delivery (CD) accounts for 17% of the births, of which 41% occur in private facilities. However, areas to CD in rural areas are limited, particularly for the poor populations. Little information ... -
Geographic distribution of rare variants associated with age-related macular degeneration
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)PURPOSE: A recent genome-wide association study by the International Age-related Macular Degeneration Genomics Consortium (IAMDGC) identified seven rare variants that are individually associated with age-related macular ... -
Geriatric assessment with management for older patients with cancer receiving radiotherapy. Protocol of a Norwegian cluster-randomised controlled pilot study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)About 50% of patients with cancer are expected to need radiotherapy (RT), and the majority of these are older. To improve outcomes for older patients with cancer, geriatric assessment (GA) with management (GAM) is highly ... -
Geriatric assessment with management for older patients with cancer receiving radiotherapy: a cluster-randomised controlled pilot study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Geriatric assessment and management (GAM) improve outcomes in older patients with cancer treated with surgery or chemotherapy. It is unclear whether GAM may provide better function and quality of life (QoL), ... -
Geriatric impairments are associated with reduced quality of life and physical function in older patients with cancer receiving radiotherapy - A prospective observational study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Introduction: Quality of life (QoL) and function are important outcomes for older adults with cancer. We aimed to assess differences in trends in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) during radiotherapy (RT) between (1) groups ... -
Gestational age and the risk of autism spectrum disorder in Sweden, Finland, and Norway: A cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction The complex etiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is still unresolved. Preterm birth (<37 weeks of gestation) and its complications are the leading cause of death of babies in the world, and those who ... -
