Repeat Expansions in PLIN4 Cause Autosomal Dominant Vacuolar Myopathy With Sarcolemmal Features
ABSTRACT Objective We aim to describe and characterize two unrelated Spanish families suffering from an autosomal dominant autophagic vacuolar myopathy caused by repeat expansions in PLIN4. Methods We evaluated the clinical phenotype and muscle imaging, and performed a genetic workup that included exome sequencing, muscle RNAseq, and long‐read genome ...

Researchers develop advanced tools to study grapevine traits like berry quality and stress resilience. A 200K SNP array and high‐throughput phenotyping enable the identification of loci linked to berry shape, sugar content, acidity, and cold tolerance. Functional validation of genes such as NAC08 reveals roles in cold tolerance.

A Bayesian Hierarchical Model for Detecting Haplotype-Haplotype and Haplotype-Environment Interactions in Genetic Association Studies [PDF]
<i>Objective: </i>Genetic association studies based on haplotypes are powerful in the discovery and characterization of the genetic basis of complex human diseases. However, statistical methods for detecting haplotype-haplotype and haplotype-environment interactions have not yet been fully developed owing to the difficulties encountered ...

FfRlpA2, a conserved Fusarium effector, functions as a protease inhibitor by hijacking the E3 ubiquitin ligase IbCHYR1 to degrade the resistance factor IbZnFR, thereby promoting Fusarium pathogenicity. Conversely, the high dosage Pro::IbZnFRHap2 allele was associated with resistance to root rot disease.

Association of HLA Genotype and Fulminant Type 1 Diabetes in Koreans [PDF]
Fulminant type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is a distinct subtype of T1DM that is characterized by rapid onset hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, absolute insulin deficiency, and near normal levels of glycated hemoglobin at initial presentation.

Disequilibrium linkage (gametic disequilibrium) of structural genes in the bovine population
In the population of Kholmogor cattle (n=824), gametic disequilibrium was studied for alleles of the polymorphic loci β-Lg (LGB), β-Cn (CSN2) and æ-Cn (CSN3). In purebred Kholmogor cattle, the β-casein polymorphism is determined by three alleles with the

ABCB1 haplotypes do not influence transport or efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in vitro
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene coding for the efflux-transport protein ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein) are commonly inherited as haplotypes.

Post‐Translational Modified Neoantigens in Autoimmune Diseases: Challenges of Immune Tolerance
Autoimmune diseases have a high incidence and disability rate. The pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases involves the interaction among genetic factors, environmental factors, and immune disorders. The post‐translational modified neoantigens are the key nodal of these three factors. And these post‐translational modified neoantigens, after being presented

Advances in methodologies for detecting MHC-B variability in chickens
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
