Genome‐wide association studies of multiple sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesClinical & Translational Immunology, 2018
AbstractLarge‐scale genetic studies of multiple sclerosis have identified over 230 risk effects across the human genome, making it a prototypical common disease with complex genetic architecture. Here, after a brief historical background on the discovery and definition of the disease, we summarise the last fifteen years of genetic discoveries and map ...

TOMM20 as a driver of cancer aggressiveness via oxidative phosphorylation, maintenance of a reduced state, and resistance to apoptosis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TOMM20 increases cancer aggressiveness by maintaining a reduced state with increased NADH and NADPH levels, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and apoptosis resistance while reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Conversely, CRISPR‐Cas9 knockdown of TOMM20 alters these cancer‐aggressive traits.

Genetic predisposition to uterine leiomyoma is determined by loci for genitourinary development and genome stability

open access: yeseLife, 2018
Uterine leiomyomas (ULs) are benign tumors that are a major burden to women’s health. A genome-wide association study on 15,453 UL cases and 392,628 controls was performed, followed by replication of the genomic risk in six cohorts.

Genome-wide association study identifies 32 novel breast cancer susceptibility loci from overall and subtype-specific analyses

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2019
Breast cancer susceptibility variants frequently show heterogeneity in associations by tumor subtype 1 – 3 . To identify novel loci, we performed a genome-wide association study including 133,384 breast cancer cases and 113,789 controls, plus 18,908 ...

Identification of Risk Loci for Parkinson Disease in Asians and Comparison of Risk Between Asians and Europeans: A Genome-Wide Association Study.

open access: yesJAMA Neurology, 2020
Importance Large-scale genome-wide association studies in the European population have identified 90 risk variants associated with Parkinson disease (PD); however, there are limited studies in the largest population worldwide (ie, Asian). Objectives To

Transcriptome‐wide analysis of circRNA and RBP profiles and their molecular relevance for GBM

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
CircRNAs are differentially expressed in glioblastoma primary tumors and might serve as therapeutic targets and diagnostic markers. The investigation of circRNA and RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) interactions shows that distinct RBPs play a role in circRNA biogenesis and function.

Genome-wide association study of primary tooth eruption identifies pleiotropic loci associated with height and craniofacial distances [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Twin and family studies indicate that the timing of primary tooth eruption is highly heritable, with estimates typically exceeding 80%. To identify variants involved in primary tooth eruption we performed a population based genome-wide association study ...

Enhancer RNA Transcriptome‐Wide Association Study Reveals a Distinctive Class of Pan‐Cancer Susceptibility eRNAs

open access: yesAdvanced Science
Many cancer risk variants are located within enhancer regions and lack sufficient molecular interpretation. Here, we constructed the first comprehensive atlas of enhancer RNA (eRNA)‐mediated genetic effects from 28 033 RNA sequencing samples across 11 ...

Targeting the MDM2‐MDM4 interaction interface reveals an otherwise therapeutically active wild‐type p53 in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study investigates an alternative approach to reactivating the oncosuppressor p53 in cancer. A short peptide targeting the association of the two p53 inhibitors, MDM2 and MDM4, induces an otherwise therapeutically active p53 with unique features that promote cell death and potentially reduce toxicity towards proliferating nontumor cells.

A pathway analysis of genome-wide association study highlights novel type 2 diabetes risk pathways. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been widely used to identify common type 2 diabetes (T2D) variants. However, the known variants just explain less than 20% of the overall estimated genetic contribution to T2D.
