Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2) promotes obstructive nephropathy progression by activating the β‐catenin signalling pathway, driving M2 macrophage polarisation, migration and fibrogenic gene expression. targeted inhibition of TREM2 thus represents a promising novel strategy against renal fibrosis.

Sequence Polymorphisms Cause Many False cis eQTLs
PLoS ONE, 2007 Many investigations have reported the successful mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for gene expression phenotypes (eQTLs). Local eQTLs, where expression phenotypes map to the genes themselves, are of especially great interest, because they are direct candidates for previously mapped physiological QTLs.

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aims Observational studies show metformin use associated with lower cancer risk, although experimental evidence is inconsistent. To provide genetic validation for repositioning of metformin in cancer prevention, we assessed genetically proxied effects of putative metformin targets on cancer outcomes using a drug‐target Mendelian randomization (

Whole Blood Transcriptomic Analysis of Sickle Cell Trait
European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sickle cell trait (SCT) is the heterozygous carrier state for the HBB missense variant which causes sickle cell disease (SCD). SCT has been associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism and chronic kidney disease as well as alterations in clinical laboratory parameters. To investigate differential gene expression in SCT, we used RNA

Genetic risk factor identification for common epilepsies guided by integrative omics data analysis
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Genetic generalized epilepsies (GGEs) comprise the most common genetically determined epilepsy syndromes, following a complex mode of inheritance. Although many important common and rare genetic factors causing or contributing to these epilepsies have been identified in the past decades, many features of the genetic architecture are ...

Depicting Gene Co-expression Networks Underlying eQTLs [PDF]
, 2016 Deciphering the biological mechanisms underlying a list of genes whose expression is under partial genetic control (i.e., having at least one eQTL) may not be as easy as for a list of differential genes. Indeed, no specific phenotype (e.g., health or production phenotype) is linked to the list of transcripts under study.

Immunology, EarlyView.A cumulative genetic score based on IgG4‐associated variants explains a substantial proportion of variance in psIgG4 levels during sustained peanut consumption, highlighting strong gene‐by‐environment interactions. Our findings suggest that early, sustained peanut consumption, in combination with genetic factors, promotes a protective immune response ...
