Identification of candidate genes and chemicals associated with osteoarthritis by transcriptome-wide association study and chemical-gene interaction analysis

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2023
Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease and causes chronic pain and disability to the elderly. Several risk factors are involved, such as aging, obesity, genetic susceptibility, and environmental factors.

A uterine‐centric view of reproductive senescence: Genetic insights into late‐life performance in laying hens

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This study identifies uterus weight as a heritable (h2 = 0.45) intermediate phenotype that independently associates with late‐life egg production and eggshell quality in aged laying hens. Genome‐wide association study (GWAS) reveals a genome‐wide significant locus on chromosome 3 and suggestive loci on chromosome 11 for uterus weight, mediation ...

Beyond the Classics: The Synergy of AI and Genomics Reveals an Expanded Repertoire of Pigmentation Genes

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Classical approaches for coloration analysis are limited by human low‐resolution phenotyping and genetic analysis. Artificial intelligence allows us to find genes beyond the tip of the iceberg that explain color and pattern diversity in nature. ABSTRACT Pigmentation has long served as a powerful system for exploring gene–trait relationships, yet much ...

Integrating transcriptome-wide study and mRNA expression profiles yields novel insights into the biological mechanism of chondropathies

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2019
Background Chondropathies are a group of cartilage diseases, which share some common pathogenetic features. The etiology of chondropathies is still largely obscure now.

Mapping Causal Biology: Mendelian Randomization in the Era of Big Data

Med Research, EarlyView.
Mendelian randomization (MR) leverages genetic variants to mitigate confounding biases in causal inference. This review systematically maps MR's methodological evolution, highlights its expanding applications in epidemiology and drug target validation, and outlines future directions for overcoming current biases through dynamic, multi‐omics, and cross ...

Identification of candidate genes and pathways associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis by integrative transcriptome-wide association studies and mRNA expression profiles

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2023
Aim Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic rheumatic disease of childhood, with genetic susceptibility and pathological processes such as autoimmunity and autoinflammation, but its pathogenesis is unclear.

Sodium Butyrate Attenuates Renal Fibrosis by Regulating Glycolysis and Histone H4K12 Lactylation in Diabetic Kidney Disease

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The role of histone lactylation in diabetes associated renal fibrosis remains poorly defined. In this study, we investigated the contribution of histone H4 lysine 12 lactylation (H4K12la) to abnormal glycolysis and renal fibrogenesis in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and evaluated sodium butyrate (NaB) as a potential therapeutic ...

MAAT: a new nonparametric Bayesian framework for incorporating multiple functional annotations in transcriptome-wide association studies

Genome Biology
Transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) has emerged as a powerful tool for translating the myriad variations identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) into regulated genes in the post-GWAS era.

The mediating role of genes in the influence of intestinal flora on type 2 diabetes and the screening of diagnostic markers

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Using Mendelian randomization, TWAS/eQTL analysis, machine learning, and single‐cell RNA sequencing, this study identified gut microbiota taxa causally linked to type 2 diabetes, candidate mediator genes, and diagnostic markers (BEND7, BLVRA, C1orf85, and LAMC1).

Integrative analysis of transcriptome-wide association study and gene expression profiling identifies candidate genes associated with stroke [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Background Stroke is a major public health burden worldwide. Although genetic variation is known to play a role in the pathogenesis of stroke, the specific pathogenic mechanisms are still unclear.
