ASA Status, NPPA/NPPB Haplotype and Coronary Artery Disease Have an Impact on BNP/NT-proBNP Plasma Levels

open access: yesCells, 2022
Plasma concentrations of natriuretic peptides (NP) contribute to risk stratification and management of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. However, genetically determined variability in the levels of these biomarkers has been described previously ...

SNP-Density Crossover Maps of Polymorphic Transposable Elements and HLA Genes Within MHC Class I Haplotype Blocks and Junction

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
The genomic region (~4 Mb) of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6p21 is a prime model for the study and understanding of conserved polymorphic sequences (CPSs) and structural diversity of ancestral haplotypes (AHs)/conserved ...

Optimizing Sequencing Resources in Genotyped Livestock Populations Using Linear Programming

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Low-cost genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are routinely used in animal breeding programs. Compared to SNP arrays, the use of whole-genome sequence data generated by the next-generation sequencing technologies (NGS) has great potential ...

Advances in methodologies for detecting MHC-B variability in chickens

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2020
The chicken major histocompatibility B complex (MHC-B) region is of great interest owing to its very strong association with resistance to many diseases. Variation in the MHC-B was initially identified by hemagglutination of red blood cells with specific

Discovery and Validation of Grain Shape Loci in U.S. Rice Germplasm Through Haplotype Characterization

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Rice grain shape is a major determinant of rice market value and the end-use. We mapped quantitative trait loci (QTL) for grain shape traits in a bi-parental recombinant inbred line population (Trenasse/Jupiter) and discovered two major grain length QTLs—

The mitochondrial DNA HVI and HVII sequences and haplogroup distribution in a population sample from Vietnam

open access: yesAnnals of Human Biology, 2022
Background Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis has been used in forensics and requires well-established population databases for statistical interpretations. However, high-quality mtDNA data from Vietnamese population samples have been limited.

alpha-thalassemia, HbS, and beta-globin gene cluster haplotypes in two Afro-Uruguayan sub-populations from northern and southern Uruguay

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2006
Hemoglobinopathies are the most common monogenic disorders worldwide; however, they have never been systematically studied from a genetic perspective in Uruguay. In this study, we determined the frequencies of hemoglobin variants in Afro-Uruguayans.

A Prospective Study of Individuals at Risk of Multiple Sclerosis Informs the Design of Primary Prevention Studies

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In multiple sclerosis, the optimal time for deploying a therapeutic intervention is before the central nervous system is damaged; given the success of trials treating the earliest stage of MS, the radiologically isolated syndrome, developing primary prevention strategies is an important next challenge.

DNA barcoding of minor fish fauna: a case study in the Province of Bolzano/Bozen, Italy

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal
The fish fauna of the Province of Bolzano/Bozen (northern Italy) currently includes at least 35 species, mostly defined on a morphological basis. Naturally occurring fish are presumably native to the northern Adriatic Catchment, as the alpine divide is ...

SPG4 and Dementia: Expanding the Clinical Spectrum

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of disorders characterized by progressive spasticity and lower limb weakness, with mutations in SPG4/SPAST being the most common cause. Detailed studies and clinical and molecular comparisons across different populations are missing.
