Increased expression of fatty-acid and calcium metabolism genes in failing human heart. [PDF]
BackgroundHeart failure (HF) involves alterations in metabolism, but little is known about cardiomyopathy-(CM)-specific or diabetes-independent alterations in gene expression of proteins involved in fatty-acid (FA) uptake and oxidation or in calcium-(Ca ...

Genome-wide structural variant analysis identifies risk loci for non-Alzheimer's dementias. [PDF]
We characterized the role of structural variants, a largely unexplored type of genetic variation, in two non-Alzheimer's dementias, namely Lewy body dementia (LBD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD)/amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Structural variation detection and association analysis of whole-genome-sequence data from 16,543 Alzheimer's disease sequencing project subjects. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION The role of structural variations (SVs) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains understudied. METHODS We analyzed whole‐genome sequencing data from the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (N = 16,543) and identified 400,234 (168,223 high‐quality) SVs.

The role of common structural variants in Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Abstract Background Structural variants (SVs), genomic alterations exceeding 50 base‐pairs, are known for their significant impact on disease pathology. However, the role of SVs in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) remains unclear. Using a novel high‐accuracy SV calling pipeline, we analyzed a diverse sample from the Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP)

Genetic factors modify the effect of chronic viral infections on Alzheimer disease risk [PDF]
Abstract Background Several viruses have been linked to Alzheimer disease (AD) by independent lines of evidence. Method Whole genome and whole exome sequences (WGS/WES) derived from brain (3,404 AD cases, 894 controls) and blood (15,612 AD cases, 24,544 controls) obtained from European ancestry (EU), African American (AA), Mexican (HMX), South Asian ...

Bladder under stress: Pathological and adaptive shifts in channel expression
Membrane channels are central to bladder function, yet current understanding is shaped disproportionately by a few well-studied families such as TRPA1 and TRPV1. To provide a more balanced view, this review analyzed emerging human transcriptomic datasets

Genome-Wide RNAi Screen Identifies Regulators of Cardiomyocyte Necrosis [PDF]
Regulation of cellular death is central to nearly all physiological routines and is dysregulated in virtually all diseases. Cell death occurs by two major processes, necrosis which culminates in a pervasive inflammatory response and apoptosis which is ...
