Comprehensive Evidence for Mortality and Underlying Morbidity Related to Visceral Fat Distribution

Med Research
Linking obesity to mortality is an intriguing and controversial topic. This study tried to comprehensively assess 8 adiposity surrogates and mortality association among middle‐to‐old‐aged adults to identify a superior one, and explore explanatory ...

Genetically mimicked effects of ASGR1 inhibitors on all-cause mortality and health outcomes: a drug-target Mendelian randomization study and a phenome-wide association study

BMC Medicine, 2023
Background Asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1) is emerging as a potential drug target to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk.

Single‐Nucleus Transcriptomic Atlas of Human Vellus Hair Pilosebaceous Units Reveals Age‐Associated Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Human vellus pilosebaceous units (PSUs) remain uncharted. This single‐nucleus atlas reveals coordinated remodeling of the aging PSU niche: reduced bulge stem cell representation with altered regenerative programs, increased representation of a stress‐responsive channel+ epithelial state, enhanced androgen‐responsive sebaceous programs, reduced ...

Prioritizing susceptibility genes for the prognosis of male-pattern baldness with transcriptome-wide association study

Human Genomics
Background Male-pattern baldness (MPB) is the most common cause of hair loss in men. It can be categorized into three types: type 2 (T2), type 3 (T3), and type 4 (T4), with type 1 (T1) being considered normal.

CRISPR‐Scan: Cas13a Mismatch Tolerance Enabled Ultra‐Multiplexed Detection of Same‐Site Indels in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Accurately detecting diverse same‐locus insertions or deletions (indels) remains challenging. This study reveals the mismatch‐tolerance profile of LwaCas13a and establishes CRISPR‐Scan, which uses a single crRNA to detect multiple same‐locus indels. The one‐pot assay detects nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) mutant allele frequencies down to 0.01%, agrees with ...

Characterizing Autism Phenotype Onset in the Electronic Health Records to Enable Age‐Specific Screening

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism exhibits substantial phenotypic heterogeneity, yet age‐dependent variation in phenotypic profiles and onset timing remains poorly understood. We aimed to characterize stage‐specific phenotypes and temporal onset patterns of autism using longitudinal electronic health records (EHRs).

Integrative Genomic and Functional Investigation of the Multi‐Layered Genetic Architecture Between Anorexia Nervosa and Bone Loss

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Bone loss is a severe and often irreversible complication of anorexia nervosa (AN), yet the genetic mechanisms underlying this comorbidity remain underexplored. This study focuses on constructing a comprehensive genetic architecture between AN and estimated calcaneal bone mineral density (eBMD).

Genetic investigation into the broad health implications of caffeine: evidence from phenome-wide, proteome-wide and metabolome-wide Mendelian randomization

BMC Medicine
Background Caffeine is one of the most utilized drugs in the world, yet its clinical effects are not fully understood. Circulating caffeine levels are influenced by the interplay between consumption behaviour and metabolism.
