Do European Seabass Larvae Grow Better in Their Natural Temperature Regime? [PDF]

open access: yesEvol Appl
ABSTRACT Understanding how warming surface waters impact the larval growth of highly prized marine fishes such as the European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax, is important for sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. We studied the growth of larvae from three genetically differentiated seabass populations, Atlantic (AT), Western Mediterranean (WM), and ...

Using haematophagous fly blood meals to study the diversity of blood‐borne pathogens infecting wild mammals

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 8, Page 2915-2927, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Many emerging infectious diseases originate from wild animals, so there is a profound need for surveillance and monitoring of their pathogens. However, the practical difficulty of sample acquisition from wild animals tends to limit the feasibility and effectiveness of such surveys.

The current state of genetic risk models for the development of kidney cancer: a review and validation

open access: yesBJU International, Volume 130, Issue 5, Page 550-561, November 2022., 2022
Objective To review the current state of genetic risk models for predicting the development of kidney cancer, by identifying and comparing the performance of published models. Methods Risk models were identified from a recent systematic review and the Cancer‐PRS web directory. A narrative synthesis of the models, previous validation studies and related

Decreased selectivity during mate choice in a small‐sized population of a long‐lived seabird

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021
As biparental care is crucial for breeding success in Procellariiformes seabirds (i.e. albatrosses and petrels), these species are expected to be choosy during pair formation. However, the choice of partners is limited in small‐sized populations, which might lead to random pairing.

Plasma amyloid β levels are driven by genetic variants near APOE, BACE1, APP, PSEN2: A genome‐wide association study in over 12,000 non‐demented participants

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 17, Issue 10, Page 1663-1674, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Introduction There is increasing interest in plasma amyloid beta (Aβ) as an endophenotype of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Identifying the genetic determinants of plasma Aβ levels may elucidate important biological processes that determine plasma Aβ measures. Methods We included 12,369 non‐demented participants from eight population‐based studies.

Genetic Susceptibility Loci in Genomewide Association Study of Cluster Headache

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, Volume 90, Issue 2, Page 203-216, August 2021., 2021
Objective Identifying common genetic variants that confer genetic risk for cluster headache. Methods We conducted a case–control study in the Dutch Leiden University Cluster headache neuro‐Analysis program (LUCA) study population (n = 840) and unselected controls from the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity Study (NEO; n = 1,457).

Intragenic PNPLA1 duplication in Labrador retrievers with nonepidermolytic ichthyosis. [PDF]

open access: yesVet Dermatol
Background – Ichthyoses represent a heterogeneous group of cornification disorders characterised by epidermal scaling. Objectives – To describe the clinical, histopathological and genetic analysis of a Labrador retriever with nonepidermolytic ichthyosis, and the results of a Labrador retriever population screening for a newly detected PNPLA1 genomic ...

Low temperature has opposite effects on sex determination in a marine fish at the larval/postlarval and juvenile stages

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 24, Page 13825-13835, December 2020., 2020
In the European sea bass, a marine fish species with a polygenic sex‐determination system, we show that exposure to low temperature has opposite effects on sex ratio. Early exposure favors female sex determination, while late exposure favors male sex determination.

Kosaki overgrowth syndrome: A novel pathogenic variant in PDGFRB and expansion of the phenotype including cerebrovascular complications

open access: yesClinical Genetics, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 19-31, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Heterozygous activating variants in platelet‐derived growth factor, beta (PDGFRB) are associated with phenotypes including Kosaki overgrowth syndrome (KOGS), Penttinen syndrome and infantile myofibromatosis (IM). Here, we present three new cases of KOGS, including a patient with a novel de novo variant c.1477A > T p.(Ser493Cys), and the oldest

Blood eosinophil count and airway epithelial transcriptome relationships in COPD versus asthma

open access: yesAllergy, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 370-380, February 2020., 2020
In a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) cohort (EvA, n = 283), 12 genes, whereas in asthma cohort (UBIOPRED, n = 85), 1197 genes in bronchial epithelial brushes were correlated with a blood eosinophil count. The gene CST1 was common to eosinophilic asthma and COPD and was replicated in independent cohorts.
