DANN: a deep learning approach for annotating the pathogenicity of genetic variants

open access: yesBioinform., 2015
UNLABELLED Annotating genetic variants, especially non-coding variants, for the purpose of identifying pathogenic variants remains a challenge. Combined annotation-dependent depletion (CADD) is an algorithm designed to annotate both coding and non-coding

Association of genetic variants with dyslipidemia

open access: yesMolecular Medicine Reports, 2015
Although genetic variants, which regulate lipid metabolism, have been extensively investigated in Caucasian populations, the genes, which confer susceptibility to dyslipidemia in Japanese individuals, remain to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to examine a possible association among hypertriglyceridemia, hypo‑high density lipoprotein ...

Characterizing genetic variants for clinical action [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, 2014
Genome‐wide association studies, DNA sequencing studies, and other genomic studies are finding an increasing number of genetic variants associated with clinical phenotypes that may be useful in developing diagnostic, preventive, and treatment strategies for individual patients.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Protonophore activity of short‐chain fatty acids induces their intracellular accumulation and acidification

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The protonated form of butyrate, as well as other short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), is membrane permeable. In acidic extracellular environments, this can lead to intracellular accumulation of SCFAs and cytosolic acidification. This phenomenon will be particularly relevant in acidic environments such as the large intestine or tumor microenvironments ...

Integrating rare genetic variants into pharmacogenetic drug response predictions

open access: yesHuman Genomics, 2018
Variability in genes implicated in drug pharmacokinetics or drug response can modulate treatment efficacy or predispose to adverse drug reactions. Besides common genetic polymorphisms, recent sequencing projects revealed a plethora of rare genetic ...

Genetic variants linked to education predict longevity [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016
Significance Individuals with more education tend to live longer. Genetic variants have been discovered that predict educational attainment. We tested whether a “polygenic score” based on these genetic variants could make predictions about people’s lifespan.

A stepwise emergence of evolution in the RNA world

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How did biological evolution emerge from chemical reactions? This perspective proposes a gradual scenario of self‐organization among RNA molecules, where catalytic feedback on random mixtures plays the central role. Short oligomers cross‐ligate, and self‐assembly enables heritable variations. An event of template‐externalization marks the transition to
