The multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) transporter DTX51 antagonizes non‐cell‐autonomous HLS1–AMP1 signaling in a region‐specific manner

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Arabidopsis mutants hls1 hlh1 and amp1 lamp1 exhibit pleiotropic developmental phenotypes. Although the functions of the causative genes remain unclear, they act in the same genetic pathway and are thought to generate non‐cell‐autonomous signals.

Genetics of ANCA-Associated Vasculitis [PDF]

, 2019
ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a group of disorders that is caused by inflammation affecting small blood vessels. AAV includes microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) renamed from Wegener’s granulomatosis, and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), renamed from Churg-Strauss syndrome.

Analysis of SIRT1 genetic variants in young Mexican individuals: relationships with overweight and obesity

Frontiers in Genetics
The high prevalence of obesity in Mexico starting from the early stages of life is concerning and represents a major public health problem. Genetic association studies have reported that single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in SIRT1, an NAD+-dependent ...

Accurate modeling of confounding variation in eQTL studies leads to a great increase in power to detect trans-regulatory effects [PDF]

, 2011
Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies are an integral tool to investigate the genetic component of gene expression variation. A major challenge in the analysis of such studies are hidden confounding factors, such as unobserved covariates or ...

Ergothioneine supplementation improves pup phenotype and survival in a murine model of spinal muscular atrophy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disease affecting motor neurons. Individuals with SMA experience mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of an antioxidant and neuroprotective substance, ergothioneine (ERGO), on an SMNΔ7 mouse model of SMA.

Causal association between obstructive sleep apnea and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a Mendelian randomization study

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) had a high prevalence in the population. Whether OSA increases the risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is unknown. Our aim was to clarify this issue using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis in

Analysis of MMP2 promoter polymorphisms in childhood obesity

BMC Research Notes, 2011
Background Several lines of evidence suggest a possible functional role of Matrix metalloproteinase -2 (MMP-2) in obesity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of MMP-2 promoter polymorphisms in percentage body fat (PBF) as a measure of ...

Fractal Characterizations of MAX Statistical Distribution in Genetic Association Studies

, 2009
Two non-integer parameters are defined for MAX statistics, which are maxima of $d$ simpler test statistics. The first parameter, $d_{MAX}$, is the fractional number of tests, representing the equivalent numbers of independent tests in MAX.

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Genetic associations: false or true? [PDF]

Trends in Molecular Medicine, 2003
Genetic association studies for multigenetic diseases are like fishing for the truth in a sea of trillions of candidate analyses. Red herrings are unavoidably common, and bias might cause serious misconceptions. However, a sizeable proportion of identified genetic associations are probably true.
