• Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies New Genetic Determinants of Cardiorespiratory Fitness: The Trøndelag Health Study 

      Klevjer, Marie; Nordeidet, Ada Nilsen; Hansen, Ailin Falkmo; Madssen, Erik; Wisløff, Ulrik; Brumpton, Ben Michael; Bye, Anja (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Purpose Low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and a stronger predictor of CVD morbidity and mortality than established risk factors. The genetic component of CRF, ...
    • A genome-wide association study provides insights into the genetic etiology of 57 essential and non-essential trace elements in humans 

      Moksnes, Marta Riise; Hansen, Ailin Falkmo; Wolford, Brooke; Thomas, Laurent Francois; Rasheed, Humaira; Simic, Anica; Bhatta, Laxmi; Brantsæter, Anne Lise; Surakka, Ida; Zhou, Wei; Magnus, Per Minor; Njølstad, Pål Rasmus; Andreassen, Ole; Syversen, Tore; Zheng, Jie; Fritsche, Lars; Evans, David M.; Warrington, Nicole Maree; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Åsvold, Bjørn Olav; Flaten, Trond Peder; Willer, Cristen J.; Hveem, Kristian; Brumpton, Ben Michael (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Trace elements are important for human health but may exert toxic or adverse effects. Mechanisms of uptake, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are partly under genetic control but have not yet been extensively mapped. ...
    • Genome-wide meta-analysis of iron status biomarkers and the effect of iron on all-cause mortality in HUNT 

      Moksnes, Marta Riise; Graham, Sarah E.; Wu, Kuan-Han; Hansen, Ailin Falkmo; Gagliano Taliun, Sarah A.; Zhou, Wei; Thorstensen, Ketil; Fritsche, Lars; Gill, Dipender; Mason, Amy; Cucca, Francesco; Schlessinger, David; Abecasis, Gonçalo R.; Burgess, Stephen; Åsvold, Bjørn Olav; Nielsen, Jonas Bille; Hveem, Kristian; Willer, Cristen J.; Brumpton, Ben Michael (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 ...
    • Prediction of recurrence from metabolites and expression of TOP2A and EZH2 in prostate cancer patients treated with radiotherapy 

      Hansen, Ailin Falkmo; Høiem, Therese Stork; Selnæs, Kirsten Margrete; Bofin, Anna M.; Størkersen, Øystein; Bertilsson, Helena; Wright, Alan J.; Giskeødegård, Guro F.; Bathen, Tone Frost; Rye, Morten Beck; Tessem, May-Britt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background The dual upregulation of TOP2A and EZH2 gene expression has been proposed as a biomarker for recurrence in prostate cancer patients to be treated with radical prostatectomy. A low tissue level of the metabolite ...
