Integrating Genetic Modifier Genotype With Serum Proteomics in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Clinical Trials Links LTBP4 Genetic Modifier to IL‐23/CD93 Pathways in Muscle

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic modifiers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) that alter disease severity or response to therapy have been reported using natural history or registry data sets of older corticosteroid‐treated patients. We tested associations of genetic modifiers on motor function outcomes in young (4 to < 7 years) steroid naïve clinical trial ...

Heterozygote advantage can explain the extraordinary diversity of immune genes

, 2018
The majority of highly polymorphic genes are related to immune functions and with over 100 alleles within a population genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are the most polymorphic loci in vertebrates.

Delayed Recognition of Maternal G6PD Heterozygous Status Across Prenatal and Newborn Care Interfaces

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common red blood cell enzymatic disorder worldwide. Although many heterozygotes are asymptomatic, affected neonates have an increased risk for hyperbilirubinemia and related complications.

Red Queen Processes Drive Positive Selection on Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Genes. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2015
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes code for proteins involved in the incitation of the adaptive immune response in vertebrates, which is achieved through binding oligopeptides (antigens) of pathogenic origin.

Extending the ATP9A‐Related Phenotypic Spectrum: Indication of Schizophrenia Susceptibility

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ATP9A, which belongs to the P4‐ATPase family of proteins, is involved in the efficient transport of vesicles from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane, as well as the release of extracellular vesicles from human cells. In 2021, a loss‐of‐function variant of this gene was identified as being associated with a recessive neurodevelopmental ...

Females with Fabry disease: an expert opinion on diagnosis, clinical management, current challenges and unmet needs

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Females with Fabry disease (FD) often have a milder phenotype, later symptom onset, and slower disease progression than males, causing delayed diagnosis and undertreatment.

An Investigation of Sleep Macro‐ and Microarchitecture by APOE Genotype

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objectives Apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE ε4), a robust genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with functional connectivity deficits and amyloid pathology in brain regions involved in sleep regulation. Thus, alterations in sleep architecture may be one pathway through which ε4 contributes to Alzheimer's disease vulnerability. However,

Dynamin-related protein 1 heterozygote knockout mice do not have synaptic and mitochondrial deficiencies [PDF]

, 2012
The objective of this study was to elucidate the effect of partial reduction of the mitochondrial fission protein, dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) on mitochondrial activity and synaptic viability. Recent knockout studies of Drp1 revealed that homozygote

Levels of multiallelic overdominance fitness, heterozygote excess and heterozygote deficiency

Theoretical Population Biology, 1990
Concepts and results on selection balance in multiallelic systems are described. These include a multidimensional concept of heterozygote excess and heterozygote deficiency, a hierarchy of means of assessment of heterozygote advantage, comparisons and contrasts of allelic versus gametic polymorphic states, and conditions defining stable equilibria of ...
