TL;DR: It is likely that longer telomeres increase risk for several cancers but reduce risk for some non-neoplastic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, as well as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are strongly associated with telomere length in the general population.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified 66 blood pressure-associated loci, of which 17 were new; 15 harbored multiple distinct association signals, and 66 index SNPs were enriched for cis-regulatory elements, particularly in vascular endothelial cells, consistent with a primary role in blood pressure control through modulation of vascular tone across multiple tissues.

TL;DR: This corrects the article DOI: 10.1038/srep45040 to indicate that the author of the paper is a doctor of medicine rather than a scientist, as previously reported.

TL;DR: The results showed that GATK hard filtering parameter values can be tailored through a simulation study based-on the DNA region of interest to ameliorate the accuracy of the variant calling.
