- Abstract
A study examined the effects of an instructional intervention designed to improve high school students' ability to comprehend the gist of biology text materials. Subjects were divided into a strategy group, a read-study group, and a control group. The strategy subjects were given eight days of instruction in a procedure designed to help them analyze material sentence by sentence, look for relationships between ideas, and then extract the gist. The read-study subjects merely practiced the task of reading short passages, studying the information, and then recalling it. Subjects were given five test passages throughout the experiment, four biology and one history, and asked to produce an unprobed recall, answer six questions on main idea content, and rate their level of familiarity with the passage content. All subjects were tested before, during, and after the instructional period. The results did not support any one experimental condition over the others, but indicated certain commonalities between the two treatment groups, including the following: (1) those who recalled more total information also recalled more of the important ideas, (2) those who excelled did so throughout the entire experiment, (3) recall ability increased for the subject who excelled in each group. However, the recall of the strategy subjects tended to be more alike than that of the read-study subjects, and the lower-achieving strategy subject showed greater improvement on the question-answering tasks than did the lower-achieving read-study subject. The results reflect the need to consider individual student differences in comprehension in the classroom. (HTH)

Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a treatable, heritable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified 157 variants associated with lipid levels but are not well suited to assess the impact of rare and low-frequency variants. To determine whether rare or low-frequency coding variants are associated with LDL-C, we exome sequenced 2,005 individuals, including 554 individuals selected for extreme LDL-C (>98(th) or

High blood pressure (BP) is more prevalent and contributes to more severe manifestations of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in African Americans than in any other United States ethnic group. Several small African-ancestry (AA) BP genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been published, but their findings have failed to replicate to date. We report on a large AA BP GWAS meta-analysis that includes 29,378 individuals from 19 discovery cohorts and subsequent replication in additional samples of AA (n = 10,386), European ancestry (EA) (n = 69,395), and East Asian ancestry (n = 19,601). Five loci (EVX1-HOXA, ULK4, RSPO3, PLEKHG1, and SOX6) reached genome-wide significance (p < 1.0 × 10(-8)) for either systolic or diastolic BP in a transethnic meta-analysis after correction for multiple testing. Three of these BP loci (EVX1-HOXA, RSPO3, and PLEKHG1) lack previous associations with BP. We also identified one independent signal in a known BP locus (SOX6) and provide evidence for fine mapping in four additional validated BP loci. We also demonstrate that validated EA BP GWAS loci, considered jointly, show significant effects in AA samples. Consequently, these findings suggest that BP loci might have universal effects across studied populations, demonstrating that multiethnic samples are an essential component in identifying, fine mapping, and understanding their trait variability.
