Genetic and Etiological Insights from Automated Lumen Diameter Measurements in Carotid Ultrasounds of the UK Biobank

The paper develops a deep learning model to measure carotid lumen diameter from ultrasounds and performs GWAS, finding cLD has higher heritability and stronger associations with cardiovascular risk factors than cIMT.

Comparing tangible retinal image characteristics with deep learning features reveals their complementarity for gene association and disease prediction

Phenotypic and Genetic Characteristics of Retinal Vascular Parameters and their Association with Diseases

The paper analyzes retinal vascular phenotypes from fundus images and their genetic and disease associations using UK Biobank data, finding novel links between vascular features and health outcomes.

Cross-organ Analysis Reveals Associations between Vascular Properties of the Retina, the Carotid and Aortic Artery, and the Brain

The paper examines cross-organ vascular correlations using UK Biobank data, finding shared genetic influences and vascular morphology links between retina, carotid, aorta, and brain.

GWAS of Retinal Vessel Tortuosity Identifies 173 Novel Loci Revealing Genes and Pathways Associated with Vascular Pathomechanics and Cardiometabolic Diseases

This study performs a GWAS on retinal vessel tortuosity, identifying 173 novel loci and linking them to vascular pathomechanics and cardiometabolic diseases.
