High heritability is compatible with the broad distribution of set point viral load in HIV carriers.

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
Set point viral load in HIV patients ranges over several orders of magnitude and is a key determinant of disease progression in HIV. A number of recent studies have reported high heritability of set point viral load implying that viral genetic factors ...

Hainan Longevity Model, Senile Degeneration, Cognitive Disability and Healthy Longevity

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Investigating centenarians who exemplify healthy longevity can aid in formulating preventive strategies aimed at achieving health and extending lifespan in the context of population aging. Hainan longevity model (HLM) plays key roles in promoting healthy longevity and provides scientific evidence for achieving healthy longevity in the older population.

Genetic Contribution to Asthma Informs Acute Chest Syndrome Pathophysiology and Risk Stratification

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is a severe complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) occurring in ~50% of patients, some presenting frequent episodes. We lack tools to identify patients at high risk of ACS occurrence or frequent episodes. Epidemiological studies have found an association between asthma and ACS, but whether this link is causal is ...

SNP-based heritability estimation using a Bayesian approach

Animal, 2013
Heritability is a central element in quantitative genetics. New molecular markers to assess genetic variance and heritability are continually under development. The availability of molecular single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers can be applied for

From Multiple Congenital Anomalies to Pituitary Gland Malformation: Wide Spectrum of Clinical Features in a Family With FOXA2 Variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT FOXA2 (hepatocyte nuclear factor‐3β, HNF‐3β) encodes a transcriptional activator involved in early embryogenesis, particularly in the patterning and differentiation of midline structures such as the neural tube, foregut, and pituitary gland. Its role in human pathogenesis was first suspected when patients with deletion of chromosome 20p11.2 ...

Reliable heritability estimation using sparse regularization in ultrahigh dimensional genome-wide association studies

BMC Bioinformatics, 2019
Background Data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been used to estimate the heritability of human complex traits in recent years. Existing methods are based on the linear mixed model, with the assumption that the genetic effects are ...

Molecular Profiling of Genes Associated With Methylphenidate Pathway Therapy and Discovery of New Variants in Amazonian Amerindian Populations

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), methylphenidate is one of the most widely used drugs, in which patient response significantly impacts prognosis. This study aimed to characterize the molecular profile of 10 genes associated with methylphenidate therapy.
