Associations of plasma sex‐related hormone and protein levels and alcohol dependence

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Aims Sex‐related hormones and proteins may underlie sex differences in alcohol use disorder characteristics and consequences. Previous reports suggest steroid sex hormones may influence alcohol consumption behaviors while proteins that regulate their circulation levels are rarely investigated.

Methods for multiancestry genome‐wide association study meta‐analysis

Annals of Human Genetics, EarlyView.
Abstract Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have significantly enhanced our understanding of the genetic basis of complex diseases. Despite the technological advancements, gaps in our understanding remain, partly due to small effect sizes and inadequate coverage of genetic variation.

The molecular basis of lactase persistence: Linking genetics and epigenetics

Annals of Human Genetics, EarlyView.
Abstract Lactase persistence (LP) — the genetic trait that determines the continued expression of the enzyme lactase into adulthood — has undergone recent, rapid positive selection since the advent of animal domestication and dairying in some human populations.

Genetic Determinants of the Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Phenotype

Annals of Human Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Individuals with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) have severely elevated plasma concentrations of low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) from birth and as a consequence have an elevated morbidity and mortality due to the development of coronary heart disease (CHD).

Opportunities and Challenges of Population Pharmacogenomics

Annals of Human Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pharmacological responses can vary significantly among patients from different ethnogeographic backgrounds. This variability can, at least in part, be attributed to population‐specific genetic patterns in genes involved in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, as well as in genes associated with drug‐induced toxicity ...

Gene–Environment Interaction Affects Risk of Atopic Eczema: Population and In Vitro Studies

Allergy, EarlyView.
Atopic eczema is a complex trait resulting from multiple genetic and environmental factors. This study investigated evidence for interaction between 24 established eczema genetic risk variants and 18 environmental factors. One variant‐environmental pair showed nominally significant interaction in discovery, replication and meta‐analyses: early‐life dog

Normozoospermic men in infertile couples: Potential benefit of early medical diagnostic procedures

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Infertility, defined as the inability to achieve pregnancy despite regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for 1 year, affects approximately 15% of couples. Male factors contribute to 50% of these cases. The necessity of andrological evaluations for male partners of infertile couples with normozoospermia is currently under ...

Pharmacogenetics of follicle‐stimulating hormone action in the male

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Male factor infertility (MFI) is involved in half of the cases of couple infertility. The follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) therapy is considered efficient to improve semen parameters and pregnancy rate in patients with idiopathic MFI, following the lesson learned from hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Cryptorchidism: Novel genetic insights into CCDC149 mutations

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cryptorchidism, characterized by the failure of one or both testes to descend into the scrotum, is a common congenital condition that can lead to infertility and increased risk of testicular cancer. CCDC149, a coiled‐coil domain‐containing protein, has been implicated in various developmental processes, but its role in the male ...

The DCIDE framework: systematic investigation of evolutionary hypotheses, exemplified with autism

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evolutionary explanations of mental disorders are a longstanding aim of evolutionary psychiatry, but have suffered from complexities including within‐disorder heterogeneity and environmental effects of contemporary societies obscuring possible ancestral functions.
