A brief history of human disease genetics

open access: yesNature, 2020
A primary goal of human genetics is to identify DNA sequence variants that influence biomedical traits, particularly those related to the onset and progression of human disease.

Genetics of circadian rhythms and sleep in human health and disease

open access: yesNature Reviews Genetics, 2022
Circadian rhythms and sleep are fundamental biological processes integral to human health. Their disruption is associated with detrimental physiological consequences, including cognitive, metabolic, cardiovascular and immunological dysfunctions. Yet many

A sequence-based global map of regulatory activity for deciphering human genetics

open access: yesNature Genetics, 2021
Epigenomic profiling has enabled large-scale identification of regulatory elements, yet we still lack a systematic mapping from any sequence or variant to regulatory activities.

HDL ch olesterol concentrations and risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease - insights from randomized clinical trials and human genetics.

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2021
Through seven decades the inverse association between HDL cholesterol concentrations and risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) has been observed in case-control and prospective cohort studies.

Human genetics and its impact on cardiovascular disease.

open access: yesJournal of Cardiology, 2021
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death worldwide. Given that CVD is a highly heritable trait, researchers have attempted to fully understand the genetic basis of CVD for a long time. The human genome comprises 3,100 Mbp per haploid genome

Cell-free DNA screening for sex chromosomal aneuploidies in 9985 pregnancies: Italian single experience

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2020
Objective Non invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) using cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) has been widely accepted in recent years to detect common fetal autosomal chromosome aneuploidies and sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs).

Sex-specific differences in peripheral blood leukocyte transcriptional response to LPS are enriched for HLA region and X chromosome genes

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Sex-specific differences in prevalence are well documented for many common, complex diseases, especially for immune-mediated diseases, yet the precise mechanisms through which factors associated with biological sex exert their effects throughout life are

DecodeME: community recruitment for a large genetics study of myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome

open access: yesBMC Neurology, 2022
Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a common, long-term condition characterised by post-exertional malaise, often with fatigue that is not significantly relieved by rest.
