Two New Loci for Body-Weight Regulation Identified in a Joint Analysis of Genome-Wide Association Studies for Early-Onset Extreme Obesity in French and German Study Groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Meta-analyses of population-based genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in adults have recently led to the detection of new genetic loci for obesity. Here we aimed to discover additional obesity loci in extremely obese children and adolescents.

An outer membrane vesicle‐associated two‐track model for enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis oncogenesis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis is a gut bacterium linked to bowel cancer. We propose that its toxin acts along two routes: at the cell surface, cutting the adhesion protein E‐cadherin and triggering inflammation; and inside the cell, delivered by bacterial vesicles, switching on NOD1 and cancer stem cell programs.

The long-term effects of genomic selection: 1. Response to selection, additive genetic variance, and genetic architecture

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2022
Background Genomic selection has revolutionized genetic improvement in animals and plants, but little is known about its long-term effects. Here, we investigated the long-term effects of genomic selection on response to selection, genetic variance, and ...

Novel Genomic Loci Influencing Plasma Homocysteine Levels [PDF]

open access: yesStroke, 2006
Background and Purpose— Genetic factors that influence interindividual variation in levels of plasma homocysteine, a risk factor for vascular disease, are not fully understood. We performed linkage analyses to identify genomic regions that influence homocysteine levels in blacks and non-Hispanic ...

Acute corneal hydrops in keratoconus

open access: yesIndian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2013
Acute corneal hydrops is a condition characterized by stromal edema due to leakage of aqueous through a tear in descemet membrane. The patient presents with sudden onset decrease in vision, photophobia, and pain.

Cotton pan-genome retrieves the lost sequences and genes during domestication and selection

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2021
Background Millennia of directional human selection has reshaped the genomic architecture of cultivated cotton relative to wild counterparts, but we have limited understanding of the selective retention and fractionation of genomic components. Results We

Long-term results of cornea collagen cross-linking with riboflavin for keratoconus

open access: yesIndian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2013
Corneal collagen cross-linking with riboflavin and UVA light (CXL) is the only method designed to arrest the progression of keratoconus. Visual improvement generally starts 3 months after treatment.
