Visualization of Runs of Homozygosity and Classification Using Convolutional Neural Networks
BiologyRuns of homozygosity (ROH) are key elements of the genetic structure of populations, reflecting inbreeding levels, selection history, and potential associations with phenotypic traits. This study proposes a novel approach to ROH analysis through visualization and classification using convolutional neural networks (CNNs).

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We describe a novel homozygous intragenic deletion in the ALS2 gene in an 8‐year‐old boy with Infantile‐onset Ascending Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (IAHSP) and oculomotor apraxia, thereby contributing to the expanding genetic landscape of ALS2‐related disorders.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bladder exstrophy and epispadias complex (BEEC) is one of the most severe congenital malformations of the urogenital tract, significantly impacting continence, sexual function, and renal function. To date, the only recurrent genetic aberration identified is the 22q.11.2 microduplication, but several candidate regions and genes including ...

The effects of runs-of-homozygosity on pig domestication and breeding
BMC GenomicsSince their domestication, recent inbreeding together with intensive artificial selection and population bottlenecks have allowed the prevalence of deleterious mutations and the increase of runs-of-homozygosity (ROH) in domestic pigs. This makes pigs a good model to understand the genetic underpinnings of inbreeding depression.Here we integrated a ...

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective Mutations in TARDBP (encoding TDP‐43) are associated with the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and include familial missense mutations where there are a lack of models and mechanisms examining how they are pathogenic.

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a highly variable, multisystemic genetic disorder caused by a CTG repeat expansion in the 3′ untranslated region of DMPK. Toxicity is exerted by repeat‐containing DMPK transcripts that sequester muscleblind‐like (MBNL) proteins and lead to deleterious yet predictable changes in alternative splicing.

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective De novo mutations in the syntaxin‐binding protein 1 (STXBP1), encoded by STXBP1, are among the most prevalent causes of variable neurodevelopmental disorders, including epileptic encephalopathy, developmental delay, and movement disorders.

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective Assess the performance of serum phosphorylated tau 217 (p‐tau217) and neurofilament light chain (NfL) in predicting risk of cognitive impairment or phenoconversion to dementia in individuals with iRBD. Methods We measured serum p‐tau217 and NfL levels by electrochemiluminescence across 4 polysomnographically confirmed iRBD cohorts (n = 300 ...

Long runs of homozygosity are associated with Alzheimer’s disease
, 2022 Long runs of homozygosity (ROH) are contiguous stretches of homozygous genotypes, which are a footprint of inbreeding and recessive inheritance. The presence of recessive loci is suggested for Alzheimer’s disease (AD); however, their search has been poorly assessed to date.

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective Sleep‐predominant network hyperexcitability is increasingly recognized as a potential disease‐accelerating comorbidity in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its prevalence and risk‐factors remain debated, largely due to cohort‐specific and methodological differences across studies.
