Abstract Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is effective for Parkinson's disease (PD); however, its efficacy varies with genetic background, such as the GBA1 variant—the causative gene of Gaucher disease—associated with increased PD risk and cognitive decline after subthalamic nucleus (STN)‐DBS.

Polymorphism in Exon 2 of CD1 Genes in Southwest of Iran
Background: The CD1 family is less variable transmembrane antigen presenting molecules related to the MHC molecules. CD1a and CD1e genes are the most polymorphic ones associated with autoimmune diseases. The aim was to better clarify the map of CD1 genes

Genetic variation mining of the blackened turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) based on transcriptome data
Malpigmentation on the blind-side skin of Scophthalmus maximus represents a significant concern in flatfish aquaculture. To explore the underlying mechanism, transcriptome sequencing was conducted on blind-side skin from both hypermelanotic and normal ...

Vascular Calcification in Homozygote Familial Hypercholesterolemia [PDF]
In this issue of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology , Awan and coworkers1 describe the study of 25 homozygous familial hypercholesterolemic (FH) patients aged 5 to 54 years. Eighteen of the patients had aortic calcification scores >1000.

PATTERNA: transcriptome-wide search for functional RNA elements via structural data signatures. [PDF]
Establishing a link between RNA structure and function remains a great challenge in RNA biology. The emergence of high-throughput structure profiling experiments is revolutionizing our ability to decipher structure, yet principled approaches for ...

Abstract Late‐onset Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is the most common primary disease of the corneal endothelium and the leading indication for corneal transplantation in Western countries. It is characterized by progressive accumulation, over two to three decades, of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in Descemet's membrane (DM ...

Fatty liver in H63D homozygotes with hyperferritinemia
To study the clinical correlates of the H63D mutation we have analysed the phenotype of H63D homo-zygotes identified through mutation analysis in a referral laboratory. A total of 366 blood samples referred for HFE analysis were screened for C282Y and H63D mutations. Four H63D homozygotes were identified.

Frequent expansion of Plasmodium vivax Duffy Binding Protein in Ethiopia and its epidemiological significance. [PDF]
Plasmodium vivax invasion of human erythrocytes depends on the Duffy Binding Protein (PvDBP) which interacts with the Duffy antigen. PvDBP copy number has been recently shown to vary between P. vivax isolates in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, the extent of

Analysis of Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 2 Gene (SOCS2) Polymorphism in Different Dog Breeds
SOCS2 is a negative regulator of growth hormone signaling. The deletion of SOCS2 in mice results in a 30-50% increase in post-natal growth. The aim of the paper was to identify of suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 gene (SOCS2) polymorphism in different ...
